[QUOTE="Hanley!, post: 930212, member: 77015"] Great win, England. Thoroughly deserved. Hopefully we learn a few lessons from this. Ireland have had problems chasing games and scoring tries in big games for the entirety of the Schmidt era. Pundits and fans were acting like we were world beaters after last year's Grand Slam, but realistically we could have easily lost three of those games. Our recent success has papered over a lot of cracks, and hopefully this will wake people up to the fact that there are still a lot of issues to be addressed if this team is to reach a final in the World Cup. But who knows, maybe the bus was late again. I will say that I'm very glad now that we spent a week listening to the Irish pundits rework our World Cup squad based on Henshaw's potential at fullback. That seems like time well spent now, for sure. [/QUOTE]
