    Watched ITV as well to see Sky's chosen players falling apart, for the last two or three seasons they've championed the cause of Perry, Sackey and Easter only for them to be shown up as nowhere near International level. Even when Rees came off for Moody Barnes was giving out, "Rees adds dynamism" ( well he didnt for 60 minutes Stuart), even though Rees was smaller than most of the backs. Delighted for them really.

    to be fair, i think skys rugby team is good - yes there are biased towards engerrland - but not nearly as much as their football counterparts on the bbc and sky

    It's not being partisan that annoys me but the fact that they tried to pick the English team, basically forced Robinson out as well, or at least tried to make it as unattainable as possible.

    Ashdon said before the tournament that his plan was basically "get through it" he should have loaded his squad with youngsters in that case.

    such an idiot ashdon - what was the point in picking players like catt, dallagio, corry, regan etc - they are all living on past glories and he has made a massive mistake in leaving the likes of flood at home - tait should have started in the center as well

    I bet he regrets throwing his lot in with England now. At least if he was playing with Ireland he'd be number 2 or three flyhalf for a decent team rather than second choice by default (injury) to an England side who couldn't make a dent in a bowl of jelly.

    Was a shame allright. Ireland could really have done with a bright prospect at number 10. Could have been groomed for the next RWC. Ah well.. what might have been.

    Ha EOS would pick him in his 30 squad and just make sure he warmed the bench. Plus the fact that EOS seems to be absolutely blind when it comes to finding eligible players in England means that he would never have done much with him
