Well it's a win thankfully for Ireland but boy you can see the team is totally lacking confidence and that was a big factor today I think in the game ending as close at 16-11 as it did.
To be honest I actually though we were pretty good in the first half. Unlike as said above Italy are no whipping boys anymore. Yes they are still arguably the weakest country in the 6 nations but their 2-3 showing last season showed they are at least competitive now and capable of beating the other 6 nations sides on their day. So I was quite pleased with our first half but after that early Dempsy try we just couldn't put them away and you could just see the nerves and lack of confidnce slip away in the second half after all the missed chances in the first half. But at least we won.
On the up up side how about that second half collapse by England. Was that beautiful to see or what. Crusing at 19-6 and they end up losing 26-19 just brilliant. well done Wales.
Now come on Alba amarach and make it a Celtic treble to start the 6 nations
