So following the weekend’s action serious questions have to be asked about what is going wrong with Irish International rugby. At lower-levels, the Irish sides have shown flair, vision and adventure but on Saturday when the International side lined out to take on Italy all of this was missing. In the end Ireland were extremely lucky to get out of Landsdowne Road with a win.

Watching the other games of the weekend, you have to ask were Ireland the poorest team on show? Wales lost to England quite badly but at least they showed some adventure before being outmuscled. At the end of the day that Welsh side was ruined with injuries while Ireland had a pretty much injury free panel to select from.

Personally I think the Six Nations could go from bad to worse for us. Next weekend see’s us in Paris. Last time we were here we didn’t bother to show up and it cost us a Grand Slam, I really fear of the consequences if we don’t show up on Saturday.
