Sorry, but here's my Rant...
After the first two performances in the World Cup the only thing I can surmise is that Irish Rugby Team have completely lost the hunger and are more interested in their tans. Both Namibia and Georgia were by far the hungrier in both matches and our lot looked like they had started months ago to believe their own hype.
I'll fall short of saying they have become a shower of Prima Donnas because they were never good enough for that title anyway. With all the time they spend on Advertsing Endorsements and "Personal Diary Newspaper Articles" the only time they seem to have left is spent working on their Tans. To be fair, it looks like they are working really hard in that area with some World Beaters to boot.
Donnacha O'Callaghan leads the way with a Deeper Tan than Lionel Blair. He is now roumored to be using Professional Tanning Oil,having discarded Factor 1, weeks ago. Ronan O'Gara is trying to match him but so far has only achieved a good Reddner. Feverish tanning is going on in the back row with Dennis Leamy only wearing his Scrum Cap indoors on practice days and only outdoors on Match Days. He forgot to wash the Tanning Oil off his hands last night and let everyhting slip through his hands. Are these men from Munster or Monte Carlo ? The pretty backline have got so used to being on their backs sunning themselves they can't take their eyes off the Sun during matches.
Even Eddie O'Sullivan is also getting too much sun. It seems to have penetrated his brain and distorted his tactical prowess as well as his post match assesments ("We stepped up a gear against Georgia"). The Lions job is looking precarious now, so get out of the Sun Eddie.
The only other suggestion I could have for the abysmal performances so far could be due to the "Curse of TV 3" and the lack of a good TV Rollicking from George Hook (but even that allegation would be too unfair to the TV3 amateurs).
No, the balme lays squarely with the players and the management. There is simply no passion and hunger. They are getting too much of the good life and assume that the Oxygen Tanks and Energy Enducing Rugby Jerseys would surely be enough to see them through. A good Ciaran Fitzgerald "Where's yer f***ing Pride" was required last night when things were going wrong but it seems the "Best spot Beside the Pool in the morning" was closer to their minds.
Unless they get off their backsides from tanning themselves and see the "real light" this whole thing will be over before the Argentina game.
Thats it.
