Northern hemisphere sport journo sad face? /edit that’s a bit uncharitable. Of course there is less buzz given the location. Both are great teams, personally a bit sad the french couldn’t get a bit further in their home tourney.
Where’s the humbleness though? Or recognition of other great teams? Or the acceptance of the style of rugby that wins is big defense and slow balls? It was all whinge. It makes Irish rugby as a whole look arrogant
Irish sports media are very guilty of everything that my NZ sports media have (rightly) been accused of over the years. Perhaps worse because they seem to have adopted a bit of a savior complex, whereas NZ’s arrogance was more that dominance is just the natural order of things.
