As a Brit, hear hear. The old England team of yester year were superb but the Irish team of this current era are absolutely brilliant! Here's to the RWC near year sir!

@@crystallineentity indeed 👍 btw "emulate" was perhaps too strong a word....let's say "compete"🙂👍 good luck to England for 6N + WC🍀🇮🇪🤝🇫🇴

I'm English and although I smart about that result at Croke Park - I saw POC's performance that day as some dude you would follow through brick walls . They said about Johnson's charisma that they would run through a brick wall for him - but you know you didn't have to because he would go through it first - POC's a dude. Dayglo was good, but he hung around too long, which I totally understand - he lived/breathed rugby. I'm glad he's a pundit now and still associated with the game. POC,BOD, Back, Dayglo, Wilko et al - in our time we've been privileged to see some players.
