Just before half-time, I glanced down from the RTÉ box and observed Brian Cody spitting into his hands and rubbing them together.

I’m not sure if a body-language coach somewhere would ever be interested in conducting a study on Cody, and his mood in that exact moment, but to me, it nearly always represents an excitement in him, an indication that Cody is happy with how his team are performing in that particular moment.
