Rooster - the General left early something to do with his wife wanting him back before 9.30pm. He was even offered a lift should he wanted to have stayed but declined.
As for Willie, as always a straightforward guy who knew what it meant to pull on the white shirt and die for it. Slightly nervous I have to say but Ulsters loss IMHO due to one man I suspect.

Currently studying Stage 5 (level3) at IRFU
Willie ranks up there with the best of them, perhaps a bit too outspoken for some peoples liking but would inspire any bunch of players to play beyond their limits. Sorry I was unable to attend last night.

In othert quaters I use a different name
But I liked the respect he showed to jimmy D at much underrated and very advanced thinker about the game at all levels
Whilst leadership is a problem alot of the responsiblity rests with the coaches at school and junior levels who dictate how the game is to be played without the players having to think for themselves
i.e they tell the players the type of game to play instead of how to play - the skills-- and let them apply those skills to the game that develops thus removing much of the responiblity for the result from the players to the coach .
When the players have responsiblity then they think and try whereas when the coach has the responsiblity then - then its we tried --but its your fault

Good post bogboy. Jimmy D was thinking deeply and innovatively about this game way ahead of his time. He scared the pants offf both the blazers in the IRFU and indeed a lot of the players on the Ireland team. You also make a valid point about kids and how rugby is taught in our schools particuarly from medallion and upwards.

It's more comfortable to be mad and know it, than to be sane and have one's doubts.
Anyway, the only difference between me and a madman is I’m not mad….I think…
