He got it right yesterday and I did not for a moment doubt him nor did his team. Some time in the second quarter Johnny Sexton got a bang to the nose and there was a stream of claret coming from his nostrils. In truth, yesterday Ireland were perfect at tight. The English rugby team operates in two states - complacency and panic - they are now firmly in the latter stage. Too many mistakes, too many balls to ground, too many passes behind the man and Ireland recovered and kept their shape.
