Not too bad at all. If you'd paid a little more attention you could have won the gold.

    An amazing position to be in…going for 3 in a row. Although if an outsider were to read the comments sections here they’d likely be fooled into believing Ireland are a rag tag team who have won nothing coached by imbeciles who haven’t a clue what they are doing.

    @Raymond: I am not sure why anyone from Leinster would be reading the comment sections never mind paying any attention to them. It comes across quite soft to be honest.

    @anthony davoren: Irish rugby has never had it better. I am old enough (now I feel old that I have made that statement) to remember annual wooden spoon deciders v Wales.

    ‘Si’ – for some reason it reminds me of The Inbetweeners when he says that! Probably nit picking but the players referring to ‘Si’ and ‘Faz’ is a tad disconcerting. For the head coach, afford them some respect and call them by their name!

    @Aidan Farrell: was thinking the exact same, “faz” and “si”. seems all a bit too cosy and pally wally to me. should be a direct segregation between players and coaches. should be no friendly relationship. it should be im the boss and you’re an expendable commodity who’ll be cut from the squad if not performing to the required standards. once that line is crossed into some sort of “friendship” and calling “faz” or “si”, far harder to cut players or tell them their service is no longer required.

    @Barry Moran: not really. maybe your not old enough to be working yet, but in most professional environments/companies the world over, it would not be common practices to be addressing your bosses by a nickname.

    Its great to be in the position to win three in a row,but our line out is still a concern two years on,and coaches telling us that players are going to be fit after injury I will take with a pinch of salt. Add on the amount of penalties we give the opposing sides is becoming a regular occurrence 13 a game. So favourites no but a chance yes,so come on Ireland
