The man everyone (in the celtic world) loves to hate, Brian Moore seems to have come out fighting against the veritable tsunami of scorn and critism he has been receiving over the last 18 months.
Specifically, he refers to the Ultimate Warrior-like rage heaped upon him by Irish fans angry at him labelling Ireland as "chokers" (don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger!)
Interesting stuff from quite possibly one of the most articulate rugby pundits who actually has some rugby experience under his belt.

I also seem to have upset a lot of Irishmen this year; well, I suppose it makes a change from the Scots, and especially for using the word 'choke' about their team. It is an emotive term, but it is right. For those who say I refuse to give credit to the Irish, there are two points: if you actually review the remarks this is not true and, secondly, as the most talented team in the Northern Hemisphere I expect more of them, as they should of themselves. If you want to follow the English in lauding the like of Eddie the Eagle, you are fools. Moreover, as one whose team choked in a World Cup final, I know about it.[/b]
