[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 896929, member: 56232"] The weirdest stat is England scored the 2nd most tries and conceded 2nd fewest, you wouldn't have expected the side that came 5th to have that. The breakdown and ill discipline really cost us this tournament, so many times we just gave away easy points and had our attack repeatedly blunted by turnovers / penalties. The bit that highlighted it for me was we were in the Irish 22, penalty. Ireland take it and then at the lineout the ref tells the English players 2 or 3 times to maintain the gap, they ignore him and free kick. Ireland now in our 22 without having to really do anything. That happened so many times, one penalty would immediately be followed up by another meaning a team trying to exit their own 22 would be gifted possession in our 22 without having to do anything.
