Foley backs ‘stunning’ Irish pack to match any team in the world

THE ENGLISH post mortems are underway, but Anthony Foley insists that work and grim determination was at the core of Ireland’s stirring Twickenham triumph.

“When you’re playing against an English side, it’s important not to give them a sniff, not to allow them anything to hold onto.”

The Irish pack, led so capably by Foley in his 50th appearance for Ireland, were single-minded in their approach, continually stresssing that England had to be unsettled for the entire 80 minutes.
