[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 625122, member: 13611"] Some stats from ESPNScrum: [url]http://www.espn.co.uk/six-nations-2014/rugby/match/180672.html[/url] I don't normally take too much notice of them but there are a few standout points from an Irish perspective. 1. Rory Best ran 3 times for no gain, made just 50% of his tackles and conceded 2 penalties. Doesn't sound great! 2. Peter O'Mahony was Ireland's best lineout forward winning 7 balls. He also ran for the most metres of the Irish forwards with 22 on 7 carries. Against that, his tackle success rate was just 66% (4 made, 2 missed). 3. Brian O'Driscoll beat the most defenders (4) but had just a 50% tackle success rate (3 made, 3 missed). 4. England won just 55% of their scrums. Ireland won 100% of theirs. Some turnaround from previous tournaments. [/QUOTE]
