Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakatūpato a Simon Easterby ki a Ireland kia kaua e whakahuatia ngā hapa o te tau 2007 i a ia e whai ana i te kororia o RBS 6 Nations i Edinburgh i tēnei wiki. I mātakitaki a Easterby i te whakamataku i te wā i whai a Ireland i tētahi rerekētanga-tohu e whakanui ana i te whakamātau whakamutunga, kaua ki te tuku i te pōro ki waho mo te wā katoa i Itari i te waru tau ki muri, kia whakaaetia ai he kaute hurihuri nui. Ko Roland de Marigny te kaute whakamutunga mo te Azzurri, me te wikitoria a Ireland 54-21: I patu a France i a Scotland 46-19 ki te hopu i te taitara i runga i te rereketanga-tohu - ma te wha-tohu noa iho. Ko te kapa Ireland e whakawera ana i mua i te whakangungu i te Rāhoroi, me Johnny Sexton (pokapū) e uru ana ano. Ka tae atu a Rory Best (māui) rāua ko Jamie Heaslip (matau) ki te whakangungu i mua i te kēmu nui ki a Scotland. Kua akiaki te kaiako o Ireland, a Simon Easterby i tana kapa kia kaua e whakahuatia ngā hapa o te tau 2007, i a ia e whai wāhi ana. I neke atu a Easterby mai i te kaitautoko i te tau 2007 ki te kaiako whakamua i te tau 2015 - engari e mohio ana kei te anga atu a Ireland ki tetahi ahuatanga rite ana ka tupato ia ki nga morearea o te whai kororia kaua ki te aro ki te wikitoria. Ka taea tonu e Ireland te pupuri i to rātau taitara o ngā Iwi e Ono mā te wikitōria i Edinburgh i te Rāhoroi. Ko te tukinga o Twickenham o Ingarangi ki France ka tiimata i te mutunga, ana ko Easterby e hiahia ana kia kore e tuaruatia te mamae o te tau 2007. 'Koia tonu, me arotahi koe ki nga mea ka taea e koe te mahi i roto i aua meneti 80,' ka mea a Easterby, e mahara ana ki te wero taitara 2007 o Ireland i whakakorea. 'Me arotahi tātou ki ngā mea ka taea e tātou te whakaputa i Murrayfield. 'Ko te mahinga tuatahi me te mea nui ka hoatu ki a tatou te hua tika me te aha e haere ana i waho o to tatou taiao i Roma me Rānana ko te mea tonu, i waho o to tatou mana, a e kore e taea e tatou te take i roto i te mea e mahi tatou i roto i te 80 meneti ki Scotland. Ka tuku atu a Sean O'Brien i te tuara o tōna ringa i te wā e whakarite ana a Ireland mō tā rātau kēmu whakamutunga. Kei te whakawhiwhia a Tommy Bowe ki tētahi whakahiato i runga i te papa whakangungu i te wā e whakarite ana a Ireland mō tā rātau tukinga i Edinburgh. 'Ka nui te uaua o te mahi i a rātou, me te kore e arotahi ki ngā mea kei te haere i ētahi atu wāhi. Me arotahi tātou ki ā tātou mahi, ā...
