First Tagicakibau danced around two defenders for his first try just minutes after coming off the bench and then Stowers slammed the ball into the baseof the post to score his as Irish appeared to kill off the contest and threatened to run riot.
Grant Smith's powerful shot was deflected into the striker's path, but Hunt's hooked effort drew a good save from Jeroen Lambers, who managed to push the ball against the baseof his near post.
In some of these places, the U.S. might post a few dozen troops who would keep the base in good condition and maintain equipment for use by troops that occasionally arrive for training.
