4 tries and we're in the quarters..... But Optimism is Hard at this point

Rugby.........

Some Hate It, Some Love It, I Personally Obsess about it

But why o why did we lose to France?

i will explain as it comes to me and its through a number of points:
  • France, A world class side were playin for careers and as host nations a early exit would have been a unearthly shame
  • Eddie O'Sullivan, A great manager but the questions MUST be asked, why was Geordan Murphy not given a look in, even against Georgia, the picking of Andrew Trimble at left wing where his defensive capabilities have to be questioned??, and the lack of substituting till 5 mins before the fat lady sings. one word WHY?
  • Ronan O'Gara, Rog had a nightmare but since when is it a surprise for Rog to have a nightmare when facing a major task, taking the lions as an example. Being a senior figure in the squad he had to step up. It was said before that an injury to Rog could cause huge problems, it happened, i ask "Where Was Rog??" and guess wot we have ?? huge problems!!!
  • The players were wrecked, give or take a few names we had the same fifteen unnecessarily for Georgia, Namibia and France .... Again Why?
  • Dont tlk to me of french newspapers givin us a dig ..... Eddie o Sullivan being given a contract BEFORE the world cup began was a unnecessary error on the IRFU's behalf.
  • Referee, self explanatory if you watched the match
Positives ????

  • Reddan, bye bye stringer you served us well but Reddan more all rounded scrum half
  • Pack, against France, They did their part pity the back line didnt follow suit
