[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 895203, member: 12207"] You're kidding yourself if you don't think they do... it absolutely happens. I remember Sydney Morning Herald journo Spiro Zavos massively slagging off the Crusaders one year as being no-hopers and when they went on to win the comp the coach unabashedly said he made the players read that article before every game for the rest of the season. Professional players are still human beings that take offence, and I'm not sure if you've noticed but the Irish tend to relish the chance to beat England to begin with, so having the coach refer to them as "scummy Irish" will definitely add to their motivation and intensity.
