Ireland part II

So the Irish are gone. Given how badly they fell apart on big occasions this year, the wisdom of giving O'Sullivan a new four-year contract before the tournament is looking suspect, whilst a number of the big name players must now look at themselves and ask how hard they are willing to work to regain their reputations. Funnily enough, in defeat against Argentina, they did show glimpses of good rugby for their tries, but it was too little, too late. In terms of the way forward for them, I can think of three starting points.
1 - Like all Northern Hemisphere sides, they were outmuscled, even the Scots looked more physical when they met in a warm-up. They need to add this dimension their game. This will allow them to play the dynamic game that they aspire to.
2 - They need to rediscover the intensity that marked their big wins against Australia, England and South Africa in recent years.
3 - The management needs to address the psychological issues within the squad, and somehow shake the chokers tag.
