        The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American history. Who said 'Give me Liberty , or give me Death'?"


        She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Little Hodiaki a bright foreign exchange student from Japan, who had his hand up: 'Patrick Henry, 1775', he said.

        'Very good!'

        Who said, 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?'

        Again, no response except from Little Hodiaki, 'Abraham Lincoln, 1863'.

        'Excellent!', said the teacher continuing, 'let's try one a bit more difficult...'

        Who said, 'Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country?'

        Once again, Hodiaki's was the only hand in the air and he said: 'John F. Kennedy, 1961'.

        The teacher snapped at the class, 'Class, you should be ashamed of yourselves, Little Hodiaki isn't from this country and he knows more about our history than you do.'

        She heard a loud whisper: 'F . . k the Japs,'

        'Who said that? I want to know right now!' she angrily demanded.

        Little Hodiaki put his hand up, 'General MacArthur, 1945.'

        At that point, a student in the back said, 'I'm gonna puke.'

        The teacher glared around and asks, 'All right! Now who said that!?'

        Again, Little Hodiaki said, 'George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.'

        Now furious, another student yelled, 'Oh yeah? Suck this!'

        Little Hodiaki jumped out of his chair waving his hand and shouted to the teacher, 'Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!'

        Now with almost mob hysteria someone said, 'You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you.'

        Little Hodiaki frantically yelled at the top of his voice, "Michael Jackson to the child witness testifying against him, 2004.'

        The teacher fainted.

        As the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, 'Oh shit, We're screwed!'

        Little Hodiaki said quietly, 'The Australian Rugby team after losing to Ireland, 2011.'

                        Ireland never looked liked winning .... they played just like they did against France about six weeks ago, pure rubbish and what a pity.

                        I at least recuperated $20 from me Welsh mate when I bet him $20 at the 20 min mark that Ireland were going to lose by at least ten points judging their play for the first 20 mins., Thank God for small mercies.

                        They lost because :-

                        1) They used League style defense ... waiting for the attackers to come to them instead of being pro-active and forcing errors.

                        2) They failed to chase 80% of their kick aheads which were too long anyway.

                        3) They fumbled an awful lot of ball.

                        4) They failed to have trailing cross cover defenders.

                        5) They were just not hungry enough with lazy play.

                        6) Often they looked bewildered when the ball arrived unexpectedly in a players hands and just ran without purpose.

                        7) Too often we found a forward in the backline who failed to run straight and ran across the pitch instead.

                        8) The consistently ran the ball back into the opposition forwards without drawing the defenders.

                        and that was just the first 20 mins !!

                            Your 100% correct Patch......they were totally out played....both on the field and in the managerial box
