Eddie gets his answer on Super Saturday
Murphy, O’Gara, Trimble, Bowe….. Try!
Then Bowe again in the Canal - Hogan apex for number five.
Eddie O’Sullivan got his answer from the benches. His forced deployment of Murphy and Bowe consolidated a new look Ireland team which defeated Scotland today at Croke Park, keeping the hopes of another Triple Crown alive.
O’Sullivan got his victory despite his questionable skills. Enough to hang on for another while but a tragedy as the most talented Irish squad in recent history squanders its opportunity of greatness.
Croker looked wonderful and from an Ulster perspective Rory Best’s arrival gave the province a much needed boost and the national squad added depth. With ten minutes to go Eddie dumped the old guard from the bench on our hallowed soil. Typical of a one trick pony who by the way picked an Ireland A side that went down 67 - 7 in Perth last night.
The roar went up when Jordan Murphy was named man of the match. Oh Eddie, how wrong you are.
As Barack would say its time for change we can believe in.
