Ireland fans savour Roman holiday as they hope for ‘dream’ results elsewhere  The Irish Times

Ireland have been experiencing a golden age of rugby, but now their fans are starting to get angry - why? Is it just because results have started to turn, and if so what are the reasons for that? I was joined by my friend and colleague Caolan Scully to debate Andy Farrell's position as Ireland coach. We look at Ireland's tactics and ask if they have gotten stale before reviewing Andy Farrell's decisions not just regarding selection but also in his backroom staff. Have mistakes been made and if so, were they avoidable? We then get into the provinces - are Leinster being hurt by Ireland's over reliance on them? Are Munster back? What of Ulster and Connacht this season? Plus: reacting to the latest women's rugby contracts. #ireland #rugby #irish #debate #podcast #leinster #munster #connacht #ulster Why Ireland Can't Compete Anymore.
