It was only Italy. Although my pick for the RWC final next year is NZ Ireland.
So Italy is the norm? You are farcical and coming from the guy who does not consider scoring of tries as important you really make a farce in raising arguments about the issue on site.
Ireland area polished side. Our coaches are only now beginning to realsie that runnng staright over opponents doesnt work. It requires deception, a grubber , running lines, a good pass beating a defender, over laps , backing up etc etc. Ireland can do these things. Our guys are okay at schoolboy level then they get coached out of it.
Proof - watch the creativity of the sevens side. watch how the under resourced Cheetahs have played and how the nobody Lions learnt to play a great game . Our major unions are starting the journey to playing decent balanced rugby one hopes.
