There are still serious issues with the ability of teams even as bad as England to score tries almost at will down the wings. Luckily some of these attacks were messed up by the attacking side but quite a few were successful.
Today showed again that there are irish players who cannot be depended on to defend the open spaces in the wings and at times the opposition is easily able to effect two or three on one situations with ease.
Stockdale for all of his ability to score a try is a very poor defender and is often left flapping at thin air as attackers run past him. Also Ringrose was left in the same situation at least twice today and on a number of occasions against Scotland. All the hype on Ringrose ignores his poor tackling when wrong footed especially when the attackers are coming at speed.
Schmidt is a lucky coach and that is great. Sexton's drop goal, playing McFadden, Stockdale's breakaway try, the poor Scottish passing in scoring positions, rejuvenation of Kearney, England only able to play with intensity, simplicity and speed in the last 15 minutes of games and no major refereeing decisions going against them.
All those one off events that only occur some of the time all came together for Ireland, any one of them failing would have made major changes to the overall result.
