Where's the humbleness though? Or recognition of other great teams? Or the acceptance of the style of rugby that wins is big defense and slow balls? It was all whinge. It makes Irish rugby as a whole look arrogant

Irish sports media are very guilty of everything that my NZ sports media have (rightly) been accused of over the years. Perhaps worse because they seem to have adopted a bit of a savior complex, whereas NZ's arrogance was more that dominance is just the natural order of things.
