All Blacks first-five Beauden Barrett collected an Aaron Smith pass off the back of the scrum, scythed through the Irish defence and coasted towards the line.And then disaster almost struck.The newly crowned World Rugby Player of the Year, looking to ground the ball near the posts, veered in and found himself crunched by a Johnny Sexton tackle.As the pair slid past the in-goal, the ball looked briefly to have been held up by the Irish No.10, no doubt causing Barretts heart to jump right into his mouth.But thankfully for the Hurricanes whiz, the try was awarded by TMO to put his side ahead 14-3 and on the road to an eventual 21-9 win in Dublin.It couldve been a major embarrassment in what was otherwise an imperious display on foreign soil, producing the goods in attack, defence and with the boot.I shouldve just dotted down and made life easier, Barrett told reporters.The second angle didnt look good, but I knew that part of the ball had hit the ground on the first angle, so it was just a relief.The Dublin Test marked the sides first genuine sense of hardship in the post-Richie McCaw era, as the surprise winners in Chicago looked to compound the world champions misery.No side has defeated New Zealand back-to-back since South Africa in 2009.Barrett said his side had failed to challenge Ireland with their kicking two weeks ago and looked to atone for their disappointing performance this time around.However Barretts love for the attack, instilled through countless afternoons playing footy with his brothers in Taranaki, occasionally got the better of him.Sometimes I was a little too attacking and we werent as smart as we needed to be, but I think I was better than recent weeks, the 25-year-old said.We didnt shape them enough with the kicking so we put a lot of onus on communication and calling out space.The back-to-back Tests with Ireland will serve as invaluable scouting for next years British & Irish Lions tour, with many Irish stars in line to pull on the red jumper next July.Barrett, who labelled northern hemisphere rugby more forwards-focused and set-piece heavy, said he expected to see more than a few Irishmen on Kiwi soil.Its been a challenging week, we were pretty keen to play this game last week but had to wait.

Nick Kyrgios has served his suspension and is free to return to the ATP Tour, senior Tennis Australia official Todd Woodbridge says.Kyrgios was originally suspended for eight weeks for not giving his best effort at last months Shanghai Masters but the tour said it would reduce the ban to three weeks if the 21-year-old Australian underwent counselling from a sports psychologist.His three weeks are up and he could be back out on tour playing if he chose to, Woodbridge told reporters in Adelaide on Monday.However the doubles great said he did not know specific details of the counselling the troubled star has received.Im not really sure on that, Woodbridge said.(The plan) was obviously to go seek sports psychology to work on all attributes of his game, both on and off the court.But Im not privy to who hes seen and how that was played out.Tennis Australia has been tight-lipped about the care plan and for how long Kygrios committed to it, while the organisations director of tennis performance Pat Rafter has kept out of the spotlight.The ATP has said the details of the plan are confidential.Woodbridge believed the tour was right to punish Kyrgios and the three-week ban was fair.The punishment was there.
