Ard, I'm sorry if that came over as sour grapes. It wasn't intended that way. I was dissapointed in the way England looked but as I indicated earlier, that could well have been down to Ireland for example studying the lineouts and working out how to win them. English mistakes could be down to Irish pressure, etc.

At the end of the day, all that really matters is how the 2 teams play on the day. Ireland won justifiably IMO purely on the very fair grounds they were the better side.
