The IRFU’s whitewash - No answers, no changes

THE Irish Rugby Football Union may think that it has done a good day’s work by controlling what was released — released, not even published — from the report into our poor performances at the World Cup.

With the arrogance of the member of the House of Lords who asked if any sensible man would allow his servants to read Lady Chatterley’s Lover, it has decided what we should and should not hear.

This is our national team and we are all entitled to know what went wrong. We are also entitled to believe that the difficulties will be confronted and that the potential of our players might be realised.
