Answer 2

Hey I agree with you - but it's hard not to get a wee bit excited when your team has been completely pilloried in the press and your players have been called 'fat old men' and everyone has written them off in the first stages.  So personally that's why I'm excited because it's been tough to listen to all the 'you don't stand a chance' stuff.  However nor do I like listening to some of the comments being made about a 'trouncing' (14-9 or 12-10 is hardly a trouncing).  Anyway I'm still happy to wear my Irish rugby shirt round and about!
