[QUOTE="Amiga500, post: 932511, member: 56767"] Radge and Shaggy Horgan made the point that Ireland should have been kicking for touch off first phase - push the game up the field into England's half. This argument is made more compelling by Ireland having 3 great lineout juming options in the team (POM, Toner and Ryan). England made most of their gains by kicking behind - which was then compounded by Ireland not being able to reply in kind. Repeated carrying phases that go nowhere or backwards leading to a box kick* only invited pressure straight back on again with a scrambling defence. *that was never going to find touch or have the same distance as a kick from 10.
