Einstein defined madness as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
England have reverted to type and are executing badly and it’s getting tedious. A couple of good tries from Ireland and nearly a third.
Couldn't agree more.
Against France, England kept the ball in hand, played with ferocious speed with great handling and demonstrated that the backs have considerable ability when you let them have the bloody ball. Orchestrated very well by Ford who is an excellent 10 when the team are allowed to play rather than just hoofing the leather off the ball. In the second half they recognised that France were tiring and resorted to a more attritional style. Good game management which resulted in a victory.
Yesterday against Ireland we reverted to the game plan that was used against Wales and Scotland because that worked really well didn't it? Hand possession to the opposition, give away countless penalties, lose every arial contest for the ball. Brilliant. Unsurprisingly we get a thumping.
The one positive is that Paulo wasn't involved in that dirge.
