I love this piece, it sums up the mentality of a lot of posters on the forum.
"By contrast, when the Irish footballers were beaten by three of the strongest sides at Euro 2012, everyone concluded it was because they were crap." And this too. It’s hard to think of any senior Irish rugby international who’s had to put up with the sort of open scepticism about his abilities that Glenn Whelan has faced over the last few years.

Read it yesterday. It's an excellent article, ken early writes exclusively about RainPaulo!

I agree with ken early and what makes the article good is that he does not go down the road of having a pop at rugby just giving it context. Would have been easy to make it a rant

Listening to the Second Captains podcast and he was having a few sarcastic lines towards our "glorious rugby heroes"
Safe to say Ken doesn't like the game or its fans at all. It's not the first time he has had a go.

Could not agree more with the part in bold - the problem there is not with rugby fans though - it's with our own fans. The amount of abuse I've heard certain fans give Robbie over the years in Lansdowne is just insane. Have never been able to get my head around it as the man has provided us with so much joy over the years - as well as being by far the most committed player. A national treasure for sure.
