PARIS (Reuters) - All Blacks lock Brodie Retallick said avoiding an early exit from the World Cup would be just as important a motivation as avenging last year's home test series loss to Ireland when they meet Andy Farrell's top-ranked team on Saturday.
Ireland came from a test down to win a three-match series in New Zealand for the first time last year but the three-times world champions will have a chance to take a measure of revenge in the quarter-final at Stade De France.
