Bono strikes the perfect chord with Ireland camp

Ireland never did find what they were looking for in 2019. A dispiriting Six Nations bled into a traumatic August defeat against England in Twickenham and six weeks traipsing around half-a-dozen Japanese cities only confirmed the fact that this was a side that had lost it’s voice.

There is a sense, cautious as it might be, that they have rediscovered something of themselves in the opening two wins over Scotland and Wales but England in Twickenham is a whole other level entirely.
