Well at least one team is keeping the St George Cross flying high

Having personally witnessed England's humiliation at the hands of South Africa last night (believe me it didn't look any better in the stadium)it was good to see a side actually deserving to wear the St Georges Cross this evening. Ireland were very, very, lucky to survive Georgia's onslaught in the last 20mins with the Georgian pack looking out on its feet whenever the ball went dead but throwing wave after wave of white shirts at the Irish line and tackling anything that moved when it was live.

Pity the English boys couldn't show as much passion and composure last night.
