All Blacks

Ireland were beaten yesterday before the game had even started. Mary Macaleese our cashmere coated talisman never showed up and the All Blacks stuck out their tongues at us during the haka. We should have retaliated by asking to see their world cup medals or at least doing some riverdance. Then the beat us off the park, they live on the edge of the law - every time the ball goes out the line it skips the first lad who is then in no mans land disrupting the defence. Every time we got the ball we pegged it down to Sivivatu who only has 32 caps and lapped it up. Basically the Blacks are the Kerry and Kilkenny of rugby. No one knows how to beat Kilkenny. Cork's strategy is to whine endlessly about de manager and de quality of de setup like, and de framework going forward in an homage to Roy Keane in Saipan. To beat Kerry you field a Tyrone team that takes no prisoners. Kerry do not like it up em. The same tactics should be deployed on the All Blacks. Why are we the ones getting speared the whole time? Why do we get bet up like Graham Geraghty from Meath against the Aussies? We need to get stuck into them from the outset like Munster done in 78. Is it really only 30 years years ago - seems much longer. Yesterday we failed a moral test. They were bigger and tougher and street wiser. The same thing happened me once - against Finchley Northern colts in 1980. They were dirty, cheating, cockney, Brit bastards. I did the decent team and gave up playing.
