THINK ABOUT IT: the national side lost 100% of its World Cup matches after Ryle Nugent took his place in the commentary booth; before he arrived, they enjoyed a flawless winning record.

Extrapolating from that compelling piece of statistical data, the internet has reached the only logical conclusion: Ryle Nugent is cursed.

He must, therefore, be forever banished to a dark room in Merrion and prevented from having any contact with members of the Irish international squad.

Ah, the wisdom of crowds.
