THE NATIONAL POST-MORTEM has begun after Ireland’s unconvincing 22-10 win over Eddie O’Sullivan’s US Eagles this morning.
George Hook called the game “a sad day for Irish rugby,” but captain Brian O’Driscoll promised disappointed supporters that the team have a lot more to offer.
“We didn’t play well, we had to fight for our win. I suppose we got the win but we have a hell of a lot to improve on.”
But what do you think? Are Ireland just getting warmed up and heading in the right direction? Or are we heading for a repeat of France 2007?
