Pre-match confusion 'fuss about nothing': Johnson

England captain Martin Johnson dismissed the pre-match confusion over where his players should stand for the introductions as “a fuss about nothing”.

Just moments before being introduced to President Mary McAleese, Johnson was involved in a row when he refused to move his England players who had positioned themselves on the left-hand side of the pitch which apparently is where Ireland’s players customarily line up at Lansdowne Road.
