One minor problem, one major obstacle

ONE doesn’t want to be the ‘Bah Humbug’ guy when it comes to Ireland’s Triple Crown tilt tomorrow, but I’m struggling to get enthusiastic.

Of course, it will be a wonderful accomplishment, our first since 1985, but it just doesn't seem to have the lustre of old: partly because the World Cup has placed all other international competitions in the shade and partly because Scotland wouldn't beat the Highfield Ladies (no offence girls).

But there is another, far more personal reason.
