The players really rolled their sleeves up, dug in and managed to protect the lead they had at the time but I don't think they are going to afford us any head-starts this weekend."https://www.instagram.com/p/BM6mPMfhgzi/?taken-by=sportsjoedotie Our favourite part of the whole interaction was Johnny Sexton's face when Schmidt was asked about the Kiwis being underdogs.
