Ireland won a hard fought victory against outsiders Samoa at the Aviva stadium on Saturday but coach Declan Kidney was unhappy with the 20-10 victory.
"We're not exactly firing on all cylinders," Kidney,, told a news conference.
"Obviously we weren't as clinical as we would like to be and we know that we have a huge amount of work to do. We wouldn't hide behind any of that but Samoa were very strong up front."
"I'm glad they're not in our World Cup group, they're a tough physical side and it was a bit of an arm wrestle for long periods of the game, certainly in the second half."
Ronan O'Gara was the star. He scored two first-half penalties, and his second half try was enough to see Ireland through.

Somsthing is rotten in the state of Ireland, and it is the rugby team. With all this talent, we should be smearing all but the All-Blacks.
