    Just wondering is the kid in the ad saying 'manic aggression' if so the whole ad is frightening. Is this the talk that goes on during kids training as the norm.

    Is it not just a skit on some pep talk Paul O'Connell gave the team before some match (/at half time)? :confused:

    That's like asking if polar bears drink Coca-Cola at Christmas time. Ads don't reflect reality.

    Well in that case the kid is in the wrong ad.
    '' This is our turf Polar Bear, drink the Cola Cola or there'll be manic aggression and no Christmas''

    ;-)

    Paul O' Connell gave a fantastic pep talk to the Irish squad at half time a few years ago. It was on a documentary and it went viral. Google it.
    Love the ad. Love POC.

    It's that and that f*cking dog singing. As soon as I hear "FLASH!..." the mute button is on.
