Sports Digest: All Blacks narrowly edge Ireland, Graeme McDowell close, and Shay Given move

A round up of Irish sports news

Likewise winger Damien Duff, captain against Italy on the night of his 100th cap, refused to contemplate his own situation.

Duff, now 33, said, “I’ve said I’ll play until 100 for Ireland if they’d have me.

“Sometimes, it doesn’t work like that. So we’ll see. It’s more important to talk about the team and how we’ve done over the past month. Obviously disappointing -- weren’t good enough.”

Defender Richard Dunne, 32, said after his 76th international appearance, “It’s very hard because we’ve been preparing for this and dreaming. You don’t want to be thinking about the finish.”
