Second row Donncha O’Callaghan knows Ireland have to take whatever momentum was built up during the November Tests into the new year.

“This team has to perform from every game on and Deccie (Declan Kidney) is the right man to lead us,” he said.

“We’re going in the right direction, we’re building momentum.

“We can’t go out after the performance against Argentina and not back it up. Hopefully we’ll back it up in the 6 Nations.”

Ireland open the 2009 tournament with a mouth-watering clash against France at Croke Park on Saturday February 7.
