I reckon Eng v Ire might be closer than people think. Ireland thrive off dominant carries and quick ball, and despite our shit handling the one thing we've been good at is knocking teams in possession backwards.
Our scramble defence is shite at the moment though, which is where I think things might fall apart. But if we can shithouse a couple of maul tries and only let them through the main line a couple of times, we might manage it.
I feel very smug about this
Repeat it a few times and then you can rightly feel smug.
