Game against All Blacks 'is another opportunity' to show what Ireland can do - Peter O'Mahony

Munster flanker Peter O'Mahony said that Ireland are determined to bounce back as they face New Zealand in the second Test in Dunedin on Saturday.

Andy Farrell's men suffered a 19-42 defeat in the opening game of the series that was played at Eden Park last weekend with Ardie Savea scoring two tries while Jordie Barrett, Sevu Reece, Quinn Tupaea and Pita Sowakula all touching down for the All Blacks.

They now will be playing in Dunedin where New Zealand have won their last four matches over the last six years but the 32-year-old is confident of turnaround.

“It is not the week to be feeling sorry for yourself. Obviously (a) quick turnaround, we had to get stuck into the review early. Back on the wagon this weekend,” he said.

“This is another opportunity for us as a squad to show what we can do. I think we showed some patches of how we can perform last weekend, so the challenge for us now is putting it together across a bigger period of the game.

“Obviously they will have their purple patches, but I think our challenge is to have a bit more consistency across our game.”

O'Mahony captained Ireland in the absence of Johnny Sexton during the game in Auckland when the latter went off the field due to a concussion and he feels a complete performance is needed to challenge a team like the All Blacks.

"You can’t have parts of your game that are strong and parts that aren’t. You have to have a complete performances and that’s what it takes to beat the quality teams.

“It is cup rugby stuff, back to it again. There is no beating about the bush either. Ireland have never won over here, so a series win, with history to be made, it is all on the line for us this weekend.”
