"Is it just me or have we lost all sense of perspective? Sport in general, and rugby in particular, just seems to be sensationalised out of all order. Not every decision is momentous, not every selection make-or-break. I am beginning to feel we are all taking ourselves a bit too seriously.
"In the midst of Ireland's worst-ever floods, the O'Gara-Jonathan Sexton debate has been front-page news. Come on! We love this game, but that is what it is, a game."
