[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 932577, member: 45598"] We lost to Wales in 2015. Also the 7 game win streak before last year's tournament was very "Wales-y" England was the only scalp in that streak. If I remember correctly as well England really felt their way into the 2016 tournament with a few less than convincing "tune up" wins like they had last Autumn, the Oz tour was their peak that year whereas Ireland ended NZ and English streaks on the back of abject form. The Welsh are the best example though, they can go from horrific to world class and back again week to week, I reckon Ireland are inbetween the two 1st paragraph I'm going to have to disagree, it's purely observational with no stats behind it but I think English clubs and country tend to be streaky, it's an opinion and I don't think it can be proven or disproven without an in depth analysis into every game all their teams play so it's not really worth it! Perfectly happy to accept I'm not neccenecess correct though! 2nd paragraph is fairly bang on. [/QUOTE]
