With us defending and Ireland chasing the game he wouldn't have too much license to play, and might have been scarred in a taitesque way if he'd made a donkey of himself. Happy with all the props and I think Stevens, although not actually destructive in the scrum today is by his all-round game starting to cause a selection headache for Johnson. Ireland will be disappointed but to be honest what can you even do with a midfield that doesn't work? that the problem england have been having and today showed how much of an obstacle it had been.</blockquote>
