I, like most of the Irish people in the world was left disappointed by the result in the 6 nations yesterday. So much so that it kept me awake last night. I know , a grown man being kept awake by a rugby match, it doesn't make sense, but it makes as much sense as not washing the Ireland top that I was wearing when they won in case it give them bad luck!
Anyway what i was wondering was do people think that Ireland are a one trick pony ? we have all marveled at the great performances that the rugby team has put in against the likes of new Zealand and Australia and even the welsh , but it seems that they can never repeat it. I think the current Irish team are the best I've seen. But yesterday they just didn't have the answers, Johnny sexton didn't seem to be on the same field. I know that it was a tough game , the toughest I've seen them play in a long time, but we should have beaten them. There was no spark , we were unable to deal with the speed and power of the English, who kept us on the back foot the whole game. To me it felt like we were just holding on since the first whistle. Is it the teams fault? Are they too old? Was it the manager getting tactics wrong? Were they afraid of the English? Every time I see a brilliant Irish performance I'm left wondering when will I see another one. What do you think?
