Re: Six Nations

A good and deserved win for Ireland - they outhought and outmuscled England who really lacked the experience when and where it mattered most. They did however at still make a few chances and for me that's a good sign - we went through a very sterile period not so long ago during which imagination and flair were very thin on the ground. A grand slam certainly would have been nice for their fans but England have to learn to play intelligent rugby and handle serious pressure when it really matters so to that extent they might actually come to thank the Irish for snatching the GS from their hands on this occasion. There are far bigger and more important games to come this summer and the true test of this England team will be whether they let this bad loss set them back or learn an invaluable lesson from it.
