Tullamore's Bernard Westman and the rest of the Irish coaching ticket are now targeting an unlikely win over New Zealand.
Ireland have it all to do in the Rugby League World Cup this week after their loss last time out to Lebanon.
Michael Cheika's team are now heavy favourites to progress to the quarter finals thanks to their 32-14 win on Sunday.
Louis Senior scored to two tries either side of half time to keep Ireland in the contest until Lebanon ran in two more scores to seal the contest.
Tullamore's Bernard Westman and the rest of the side's coaching ticket will be focusing on the challenge of playing and beating New Zealand on Friday, knowing it's likely only victory will do.
