Well I also checked out the Mary McAleese v Martin Johnson thread and while I am clearly not in the ranks of those who never forgot - being more concerned with the next game - I do agree that he acted inappropriately that day. If an Irish team had done that to the queen it would have sparked total outrage and fury in England.

Had he tried it at croke Park, a more sensitive nerve might have been touched and the England team might have needed assistance from the local Gardai to exit the stadium.

Having said all that, it is clear from his current approach that he isn't the sharpest tool in the box and as such he is on course to make a bit off a laughing stock of himself as a manager. Over here in England the rugby fans I know aren't happy with him at all.
