Brian O' Driscoll trotted on to Croke Park with a commentry from obsequious Eddie Butler ringing in everybodies ears. The wonderful, marvellous, can I have your children O' Driscoll was marking his 100th cap. Listening to Butler's commentary I wondered how O'Driscoll was going to solve global warming, create cures for elephantiasis and eliminate third world poverty all by half time.

But I digress.

Wales had obviously prepared for this game by listening to 48 hours of Leonard Cohen whilst consuming large doses of valium. It was a dreadful performance by the Taff who seem to think that disciplin is a proposition by Wittgenstein and not worth bothering with.

The game started as a tennis match until the sons of Hibernia - realising they were playing an anarchic 15 - went over the line twice. That was it. Gatland loaded his trusty revolver once again at half time but the writing was already on the wall.

Wales never looked like taking control even though they had the majority of the ball.

They left the field with the strains of " Why Don't You Try " enveloping them like a damp Irish mist.
