There are some weekend that are great and some that are, well, less so. this was one of those that was in the latter but there were still some highs amid the disappointments of the Aviva Stadium on Friday and the Rugby World Cup on Saturday night.
There had been so much hope, so much excitement and then, all of a sudden, so much disappointment.. But that’s sport.
