Likewise Murray.
Time for Ryan Baird to start.
Short of a mathematical miracle we are still on course to win the 6N.
Who cares?

Winning the pot and losing to England is failure just as it was when Ireland did it to them

Hume continues to slap the chest etc. which imo is a juvenile display of uncontrolled emotion and p#sses everyone off.
He seems to think he's Sparky. All that whipping up the crowd stuff. :roll: Best way to do that is to deliver on the pitch.
