[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 939161, member: 13611"] England stepped up their game big time. Wales were chasing a slam. Against Italy, Ireland rang the changes to improve squad depth. Injuries lead to disjointed performances. I think 34 players were used in the 5 games. The half backs were well below par. The pack carried poorly. Jack Conan and Dan Leavy could be the main beneficiaries. Hard to know. Ireland are perhaps a bit predictable. When players are on form, it's hard to stop but when a little off the pace they don't challenge defenders enough. Win their pool and it's a likely quarter final against South Africa. If on form, that's a very winnable game. It's possible. After the New Zealand game, all focus turned to the World Cup. Ireland are maybe guilty of taking their eyes off the ball in the 6 Nations. If there's a positive to be taken from it, at least problems have surfaced now and not at the World Cup unlike in 2007. There's time to find solutions. [/QUOTE]
