:dead: - Amazing he is employed by anyone.
"We've had a lot of media at the hotel, a lot of international media as well, for obvious reasons, and maybe that's knocked us off our stride."
"Ireland were very well organised and physical and Boaz pulled off some terrific saves.""We rode our luck once or twice but I'm delighted with the efforts the boys have put in.""We looked tired towards the end because some of the guys haven't even played 90 minutes."
I think sentence 2 and 4 are the main reasons! Not the media in the hotel!! bloody hell. He's just as much to blame for it, a few days back he said this:
'I have no reservations about how he would handle it. When you move to another country you have to embrace the culture and you can’t expect everybody else to change for you. For Gareth as a player wherever he goes he will have to learn the language and the culture, but his ability will always be there. His mentality is fine. He is a superstar, he is, he is a super talent, but he is not caught up with that.'
So, HE'S not caught up with it but everyone else is and that's why you didn't win a pointless pre-season friendly. Uh huh, Chris, at least you have a fit girlfriend.
