Ireland players bite back at talk they lack a 'bit of dog'

Brian O'Driscoll may feel that the current Ireland team lacks 'a bit of dog' but Andy Farrell's players have, predictably enough, bitten back at that.

The assertion that the national team's pack could do with a bit of a harsher edge has been currency ever since Dan Leavy suffered a major long-term injury that sidelined him for 2019 and O'Driscoll appears to have has been mulling over this for some time.
