Kidney counts heavy costs of Barbarians defeat
6 June 2010, 12:40 pm
By Sportsbeat
Declan Kidney took a depleted-looking final squad to Australia and New Zealand following a bruising encounter with the Barbarians in their final warm-up game.
The clash ended in a 29-23 defeat for the Irish but that was the last thing on Kidney’s mind as they lost Fergus McFadden to a broken jaw.

Shane Horgan missed the game, and the plane, due to a stomach complaint that he is having ongoing tests on while hooker Jerry Flannery was also left at home after aggravating a calf injury from earlier in the year.

There was a semblance of good news for Kidney with fly-half Jonny Sexton making the journey however if his gum infection does not improve quickly he may too be forced out.

A Sexton withdrawal would take the casualty list up to 14 for Kidney which, with the tour being earmarked as an integral part of Ireland's preparations for the 2011World Cup in New Zealand, would represent a huge blow.
