I guess my point is that itās a bit disappointing to see how happy being knocked out makes some people. The final will likely be NZ v SA, we beat one in the group and were knocked out by the other. There is very little between Ireland and the other teams in the world top 4 and any of those can beat the others on a given day.
It that isnāt good enough for some people, or if they have a problem with rugby then let them support other Ireland teams or sports.
Itās not like we have much success in other international sports. Itās a long time since we thought we were great not losing soccer matches and it brought the country to a standstill, we canāt get any decent result these days.
No. Obviously a world class replacement would have been better. However, that wasnāt possible considering both the talent available and that they had to make a hard choice to ditch Carbery.
Who is his replacement? Crowley was backup on Saturday, Ross Byrne was for other games. Neither got a start.
Frawley never got much of a run at 10 as he picked up some unfortunately timed injuries, Harry B played himself out of contention and Carberry wasnāt making Munster squads by the end of the season.
We had a lad who was 3rd year last year offered a place in one of those schools mentioned. The promise of senior cup, Ireland schoolsā¦ He was unsure of it but his Dad forced it through. The word coming back now is that he absolutely hates the place. He would have been recieving AEN (resource) classes in our place but isnt getting them there.
The fall off rate from lads playing after leaving those rugby schools is enormous.
