VIDEO: ‘Angela Merkel’ addresses the Irish nation

In the latest Apres Match skit, the German Chancellor lays out her plans for the country in the aftermath of the Spain defeat.

THERE MAY HAVE been little to smile about after the 4-0 drubbing Ireland were handed last night but the Apres Match lads, Barry Murphy, Risteard Cooper and Gary Cooke, never fail to give us a laugh.

Craig Doyle to present every RTE programme for ten years? It’s safe to say she didn’t take that flag too well, then.

The best skit so far. Not too difficult though going by the quality in this championship.
