I Just Hate to Admit It

I was a little more than stunned by the news. Of course that Jonathon Sexton had been selected against South Africa for this weekend's match.
I have long said that the flyhalf is the single most important figure in today's game.
My opinion has never wavered about Sexton THUS FAR(he is still a very young man).
He is not up to it mentally.
I have also said that Sexton is a selfish player and despite the favorable Fiji reports, I still go with that.
The Irish may very well beat the Boks but having Sexton on the team is definitely a liability.
So much so that I am now wagering the money that I haven't spent on the Springboks.
The Irish did not impress me one iota.
The only side that won last week in what I thought was the most important weekend in world rugby 2009 were the Boks.
Samoa and Argentina were shite.
Fiji weren't much better but Ireland couldn't put them away until the last 15 minutes.
It was a telling and disturbing weekend for those who think that "their" teams were great.
It was only great because of the leeching.
There will be blood now.
