The 46-year-old Irishman-who replaced Frenchman Jacques Brunel last year — told The Times he needed to change the mindset of the players who were suffering the inevitable consequences of always being told they were useless. The many critics have had a field day following last Saturday’s abject 63-10 defeat at the hands of his native Ireland with some even questioning do Italy deserve to stay in the competition-the well-funded Georgia being mooted as a potential replacement. That appears a longshot although another hammering against Grand Slam holders England at Twickenham today will provide further ammunition. “It’s like an alcoholic. The first thing he has to do is say, ‘I SAPPORO: Qatar’s Hanan Al Boinin shouts instructions to her teammates during a SAPPORO: Japan’s Mari Motohashi, right, and Yurika Yoshida sweep the ice during a have a problem.’ We have to acknowledge it,” he told yes- round-robin Curling game against Japan at the Asian Winter Games in Sapporo, round-robin Curling game against Qatar at the Asian Winter Games in Sapporo, terday’s edition of The Times. “Of course there is a lot to northern island of Hokkaido, yesterday. —AP northern Japan, yesterday. change, but any Tom, Dick and Harry can come in here and tell us what we need to do. “If someone says you are really bad at your job, and everyone else then keeps telling you that, then it’s in your head. “There is so much negativity Desert to ice: Qatar takes on and I don’t just mean external.

Sinclair, who has won the last three women’s national championships, is set to contend against familiar opponents as well from World Curling Tour and world championships of the past in Japan’s Satsuki Fuijawa, Italy’s Stefania Constantini and China’s Jie Mei.
