I would have loved to see IRE in our group as it would give us an opportunity to shut their mouth off.

Didn't we do that last time when we toured them? If they are still talking than I am sure they are using some "other" place , not mouth. "IRE is better than BAN" is a hype created mostly by PAK and IND fans and media. But its funny that themselves are afraid to face IRE, and they won't help IRE.
