Let’s kick rugby cynics to touch

WE all know that the country is heartbroken because the All Blacks beat us. The responses from that match ranged from extremely negative to extremely positive.

For example, on every Irish Twitter user’s feed there were tweets like ‘Johnny Sexton bottled it, bring back ROG’ or ‘So proud of the Irish!’

So why were we extremely negative? Was it because we depended on a victory to take us out of our economic depression? Or are we all just too sports mad?
