“I think maybe we tried to play too much.”

Pardon? This coming from the coach of a team who didn’t put two passes together in a phase once. Are you fucking kidding? Breakdown, rook, two passes, contact, breakdown, rook, two passes, contact. And you wonder why Ireland found it easy to defend.

For a team with a terrifyingly fast backline it seems bizarre to me that England don’t have the confidence to go out wide ever.
