Not entirely. True, England were woeful. However, credit where it's due please, Wales were the better team and won because they outclassed Ireland up front not because Ireland played badly.

Wales were by far the better team - they made Ireland look bad. Get over it. And anyway, O'Driscoll has done nothing of note on an international pitch for about 3 years
Originally posted by Angry BoyI didn't think either team looked particularly good, to be honest. Ireland showed very little imagination. Not as little as was on display at Murrayfield, mind.

Originally posted by Angry BoyI'm not claiming Ireland are the 2nd best team in the world actually I'd worry about whether they're the second best in the 6 nations.

As for the comment on Drico I agree. so why was he playing? And why was he captain? O'Sullivan needs to wake up and smell the roses. Irish rugby is going downhill. We have the players to do it but without the right coach and selection team any team would struggle. I think that without some radical changes Irish rugby is just going to get worse and I don't think O'Sullivan has the confidence to make those changes.
My suggestion for the England game would be to try a new set up and team. But O'Sullivan has picked the same old players for the same old positions.
WE NEED A NEW COACH!!
