Absolutely dogshit by Ireland today. Lucky we played a terrible Wales side because we were back to the slow, predictable and cowardly rugby that has typified Irish rugby of the last 10 years. I'll give them a pass because of what we seen in November but if we play anything near like that against France and we are being embarrassed. I mean Hanson won man of the match despite our style of play not allowing him to show half of what he is capable of, just like Lowe plenty of times before too. Every single one of those players are used to a quick, offloading game because that is the style that 95% of those players play week in week but with their clubs. Its weird to be so pissed off after such an easy win but we should have put 50-60 points on Wales today and ultimately that is why we aren't World Cup contenders despite having the talent to be exactly that.
Was thinking we'd be comfortably battling it out with France for the championship but on that showing we'll struggle against, a frankly, average England side.
Edit: without being a total killjoy I'm delighted Hanson had a great debut, absolutely massive talent.
