Lot of injuries, confidence on the floor since the WC, club teams going awful, Head Coach picking players on rep over form.
Should win the last two though and may sneak 3rd which wouldn't be all bad in the circumstances

Good effort by Ireland though, they certainly weren't outclassed and could have gone a lot closer on the scoreboard with a bit more luck.”

England and Wales seriously aren't much more than mediocre sides at the top level. England have potential to improve but would be blitzed by SH sides at the minute
