New players, new coaching staff, new defensive system. Doesn't matter how much talent you have on the pitch, they still need to gel as a unit and that takes time. When SA were learning this new defensive system they lost half their games over a 14 game period, now look at them!Ireland are one of the best teams in the world, and have been for some time. Currently it's a total mismatch, but even so Ireland won't take England for granted, because of the team do click then they can be a real threat. If, come next 6 Nations, we are still looking like this, then I'll have issues. But until then just happy to let the team develop. As long as each game there are incremental improvements.</blockquote>
