[QUOTE="shazbooger, post: 147177"] Choking is being unable to perform because of Nerves. Nerves havent been a problem for us, we simply havent played at all. We were hammered by Scotland and effectively lost against Italy in meaningless matches before the tournament. We played crap with no pressure on us at all. We've done the same during the world cup. Maintaining a consistently **** level of play. Now there you may have a point ....... but ............ you could same about England before they won the WC. It took them about four years to win a grand slam, but that aint relevent to this debate either. Grand Slams are not easy to come by and Ireland were never clear and away the best team. You could also look at the England game this year. The Ireland team was under more pressure for this match then on any other occasion in the History of Irish rugby. Where we could easily have folded, we didnt, we excelled and put a record score on you. Just wouldnt be in your personal interest to look at that though would it. I'm not arguing with the fact that we are **** and I'm sure Ireland have been effected by Nerves in the past ( as have all nations). I just dont think its down to nerves time round. [/QUOTE]
