Tony Ward was one of the first 15 Irish players to play on an Irish team to beat the All Blacks. He has also slammed the ‘leadership group’ naming five players who failed to inspire their team mates against New Zealand
Former Ireland star Tony Ward has launched a stinging attack on Ireland’s players accusing them of ‘showboating’. The out-half was one of the first 15 Irish players to play on an Irish team to beat the All Blacks, scoring two drop-goals and a conversion in Munster 12-0 win in Limerick was in 1978, for naming his guilty parties too.
