Anatomy of Ireland’s near-perfect performance against England

Ronan O’Gara says Ireland could have kicked a lot more against England, and chose not to.

Watching Ireland completely dominate England last Sunday provided all the evidence I need to prove why Joe Schmidt has revolutionised rugby coaching.

The New Zealander has, in my opinion, been a complete game-changer for coaches like me, just coming into the game, and careful analysis of that first half against Stuart Lancaster’s side at the Aviva Stadium presents plenty of proof in that regard.
