Irish Rugby not what it used to be?

Last Saturday, a more than dubious try saved us from what could have been an embarassing defeat by Italy. Thankfully, an additional three points from a penalty meant that we would finally have won in any event. One has to admit that the Italian team was quite packed with Argentinian-born and indeed one New Zealand-born player. However, all commentators seemed to agree that a lot of work needs to be done before our next match. Scotland pulled off an impressibe win against France, and England beat last years grand-slammers, Wales. Interesting times lie ahead!
