Yeah it sure will, in some respects I really don't envy the players/coaches it's very soon after Axel's passing.
But I'm sure he wouldn't have wanted anything else than the Rugby to continue, he was never really one for the fuss...
I was lucky to meet him in the residents bar in Hilton in Cardiff after
the 2003 6N win over Wales
(ROG's first Drop Goal drama in Cardiff), that set up a Grand Slam game in Dublin vs England.
Even with the bedlam going on around him after Ireland had snuck a great win 24-25 at the death, he came across as a very composed individual perfectly friendly and not at all self-aware...
