HERO OF THE WEEK

Ireland's rugby heroes were poor in an ill-tempered final autumn test against Argentina, and new coach Declan Kidney probably left Croke Park with more questions than answers ahead of the Six Nations. The game was too ugly to offer any beauty, bar a man of the match performance from Munster's David Wallace who was quite superb from start to finish.

IDIOT OF THE WEEK

The former England and Rangers captain Terry Butcher, now assistant manager to Scotland boss George Burley, refused to shake hands with Diego Maradona after last week's game against Argentina in protest at the hand of God goal that sank the English in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. Butcher really should learn to let go and move on. Life is too short for such stupidity.
