Tindall’s try ‘a stake in the heart’, says disappointed O’Sullivan

IRELAND coach Eddie O’Sullivan installed England as favourites for the World Cup later this year after seeing his side overwhelmed in the RBS 6 Nations Grand Slam decider.

“They are the number one team in the world and they are right on top of their game,” said O’Sullivan.

“They defended very well and in the second-half they strangled us up front and struck at critical moments. Tindall’s try especially was a stake in the heart.
