Winning matters more than style, says Ireland's Kearney

Ireland are not concerned by critics who say they do not score enough tries after starting their Rugby World Cup campaign with a 50-7 win over Canada, fullback Rob Kearney said on Monday. The Six Nations champions have usually adopted a pragmatic approach under coach Joe Schmidt based on a powerful forward pack and the kicking skills of halfbacks Conor Murray and Jonny Sexton. "One of the criticisms of us in the Six Nations was that we weren’t scoring enough tries," Kearney told reporters.
