In fairness, this was to stop Ireland winning consecutive Grand Slams and beating England's 11 game consecutive win streak that Ireland were matching, so there was a bit of grudge in the game because we did the reverse to ye back in 2017 I think.
Shows why it's impossible almost to win consecutive slams because you'll have to beat England and France home and away over 2 seasons. That's very hard to do because Stade de France and Twickenham are very hard places to go.
I'm trying not to be overly critical of Ireland. England had their day too and deserved it, but nothing to suggest today that this England team can do that on a consistent basis.
The U20 England team that drew with Ireland in an incredible game yesterday evening play nicer rugby.
