Ireland need to pull up their socks
After two Rugby World cup games, it is clear that Ireland are not playing to their strengths.
The Irish team struggled in their 32-17 win against Namibia in their opening game last week. Namibia should have been a 'walk in the park' for Ireland, having never before won a World Cup Game but, it wasn't so easy.
Their match against Georgia on Saturday was no better. Ireland scraped a 14-10 win.
There seems to be none of the Irish fire that I'm used to seeing when they play rugby. Their drives have lost their power and their ball handling seems to have deteriorated.
I'm praying for an Irish World Cup win but, the boys are really going to have to pull their socks up to keep that in their sights. As long as O' Driscoll continues to be fit to play, I have hope, but Ireland really need to start working more as a team.

Dolphin Thought To Be Extinct
I was saddened to see on the news yesterday that a breed of freshwater dolphin is now thought to be extinct.
Yangtze River dolphins, which are only found in China, have been confirmed as the first extinction of a large vertebrae in over 50 years.
Researchers surveying the dolphins natural habitat have failed to gather any evidence of the species survival.
The extinction is being blamed on loss of habitat and human activity in the area.
Something has to be done before many of our other endangered species go the same way.
Baby Boy For Jack White

No Deal For Viewers
The Phone-in operator for Deal or No Deal on Channel four has been fined £30,000.
The game show, which is hosted by Noel Edmonds, asks viewers to phone in to be in with a chance of winning one of three cash prizes. However, the show is pre-recorded so the prize money was already set.
The operator I-Touch have been accused of mis-leading viewers with this phone-in and of therefore leading them to believe that the programme was live.
This new incident follows the many recent accusations and investigations made about television phone-ins and competitions.
