Given that the benefits of a brief musical interlude whenever a team scores are highly dubious in the first place, shouldn't the spectators at Croke Park last Saturday have had some say in the most recent assault on their ears?


The mood certainly wasn't helped by the short blasts of what resembled an Irish jig following Ronan O'Gara's successful kicks and Tommy Bowe's late try. The IRFU should either lose the God-forsaken music altogether, or come up with something a little more innovative than shameless Paddywhackery.
