“Things must be put in perspective. A lot of guys have asked me what happened. 14-12 up, I thought we had played quite nicely. But then they brought on Furlong, Doris, Gibson-Park, Sheehan and the list just went on,” said White.“Not taking anything away from the players that I have, because that’s what we have. It was a good measurement for us as a group.
“So if you just analyse, without being emotional about it, the development over the past three years for a squad like that is almost unheard of. And when you get pressure like that in big games, and are exposed to that intensity and opposition, it can only make you better.”Despite the second-half blowout White believed it was the perfect lesson for his team and the players would learn a lot from the encounter going forward.
