Gap closing

Yep Kev, the Argies got a good hammering around the pitch. Our lads will have nowhere to hide from the physical stuff. Bonus point in the last minute of the game clock (6th minute of injury time) tells a story.

I saw some of Italy v Romania last night, similar pattern of a real slugfest. Considering POC's comments on how he feels worst getting out of bed after an Italian game, he won't want to play these guys in a hurry.

One slight wory for the future is a scenario where we don't make the QFs and have to prequalify, we will be playing against teams like Romania and Georgia who have a physical approach well beyond what our lads are used to.

This RWC seems to me to be like the last 10 yrs of gaelic football. The gap between the good teams and their lesser opponents has been closed by fitness, workrate and brutal physicality. Print this post
