Ireland v Chile, 24/05/06

I think he meant that since they are ranked so low, we expected them to be a fairly average side, and that since they rolled us over so easily, it must mean we're a below average side. But it actually turns out they're an above average side. Which makes us average. Or something!

Put like that, then Stutt's statement is actually an expression of optimism or a desperate attempt to find some positives out of a poor performance.
