[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 710000, member: 56232"] I definitely fear the Irish in an aerial battle, this kick chase is much much better than ours. We are generally weak when teams kick over the top and chase well because nobody seems to have told England that when you have one player at the back being closed down by multiple players, you need others to get back and support them. We never do this fast enough and I fear Ireland could do this, get penalties and then score that way. Despite our defending against Italy, I don't fear Ireland so much with ball in hand. I think a large chunk of the poor performance against Italy was complacency. I think our 9 also needs to be more prepared for kicks over the top of our defensive line. I can't see Ireland putting a large number of tries on us but I can see them completely controlling the game is we don't adapt to what they are doing and play stupidly. They are not the most glamorous teams in the world but they are one of the most intelligent. [/QUOTE]
