Ireland's Rugby World Cup: Pants

We're currently being stomped on by Argentina. It's been frustrating to watch our performance in the World Cup games; it's like we pick out an area where the opposition can beat us, then we keep going back to it. For Argentina, it's turn-overs: given the option of kicking the ball clear, passing it, or going to ground and attempting to hang onto the ball, we're choosing the last, and losing the ball almost every time. The fact that we've scored two world-class tries is poor compensation.

updated to add: we lost; no surprises there. The TV commentator gets a cookie for leading out to commercials with "after the break, the wake".
