Six Nations: Ireland is reorganized to attack Mojo as known defects that haunt England | Rugby news news

2025 six nations is turned off and run after a first round of lighting. Sky Sports evaluates victories for Ireland and Scotland and alarmingly well -known defeats for England and Wales …
Ireland refreshing Mojo, but the questions remain at No. 10
For the first half of Saturday’s victory over England, Ireland’s attack looked like, rushed and rushed so much in precision it was difficult to believe that it was the same side that had won the last two championships of six nations.
The biggest talk point in Ireland directed to it was which temporary coach Simon Easterby will choose in Fly-Half: The last starter at the Victorious Championship Jack Crowley campaign or the new child in Sam Prendergast.
November had seen Prendergast chosen by Andy Farrell to start against Australia, but Crowley came off the bench to play an important role in turning things to win this test.
In the end, Prendergast was a surprise to start England and proved that the wrong call to a screen that didn’t really had quality. Most of the cases when he received the ball that kicked the possession away, kicked unnecessarily and for a long time – putting his own side under pressure – and lost twice from the t -shirt in terms of conversion – the first particularly bad strike.
Crowley came to Dublin in the 58th minute and Ireland immediately seemed more installed in their flow. Even the England coach, Steve Borthwick, commented on it at a press conference after the race. “The change at 10 was a pretty important. They played very well when he came to the last part of the game,” he said.
The solution here will surely appear with Crowley from the beginning of next week’s conflict in Scotland, but there seems to be more. Prendergast plays for Leinster at a provincial level as many in the Ireland start team and clearly Ireland’s training staff see something they want to insist on. Huge questions remain.
England loses another lead despite positive appearances in the first semester
For long periods of the first semester, England was faster, weaker and more natural than Ireland in many aspects of the game.
Defense’s weakness meant that they were delivered the opportunity to build more than 7-0 – Marcus Smith the man took for a sin after a team warning – and in the second half he played with complete dominance from Ireland.
England was removed with 22 unanswered Irish to fall 27-10 back and there was no way back, but a delayed boost that brought a lost bonus point that could still prove to be significant. You just have to look at the six nations of 2020, when England pulled out a late round 1 they lose the bonus point away in a ruthless France that ended up being vital in the next title match.
For Borthwick on Saturday, he chose to focus on the difference in the experience between the sides and the positive could not discern that from the beginning: “If you look at today’s game, you look at two different teams. Ireland is a team that was together for one Huge time, nearly 1200 lids.
“If you watch the start of this game, you don’t see this difference. You see a group of England that wants to play aggressively, it wants to move the ball and we took a step forward with our attack. We’re disappointed, but there are elements where We have shown progress in the last 10 days in the training camp.
France with a return Antoine Dupont to Twickenham next week … England has to find a way to keep positive play spells in tests. They have now lost seven of their last nine since Ireland winning home in last year.
Scotland, you have warned
“We have to be much better if we want to do anything in this tournament.”
Amidst full -time scenes in Murrayfield stands, Finn Russell didn’t get his words.
For his part, the six-nation campaign of Scotland had surpassed the perfect start, Huw Jones Hat-Trick inspired a 31-19 victory over Italy.
But a scratch beneath the surface will have revealed problems that a team more capable and clinic from Italy would undoubtedly have exploited.
Russell’s comments were addressed to both himself and collective, with half a fly that was fault in Scotland’s tradition for a 19-6 half year when Juan Ignacio Brex hinders his loose passage to complete Italy’s dramatic return with a detached attempt.
The way in which Scotland erases Italy’s revival, securing a bonus victory in the process, is admired both for its precision and its emphatic nature.
Few teams can hold a candle for talent they have widely, but even Jones, Darcy Graham and Duhan van der Merwe may have their job to get the removal from a similar escape act against the best opposition.
Wales faces genetic Italy after France
The score proposed a dribing, a one -sided affair, and in many ways it was true.
A 13th consecutive test defeat was a record, as the seven-admission France claimed that the biggest victory of six Wales’ nations.
Wales avoided equivalent to their heaviest defeat in the tournament, a 54-10 loss in Ireland in 2003, from a lonely spot in Paris, but that was a little comfort for Warren Gatland and his team traveling to Italy for conflict with round two that has taken on genetic significance.
“For me, this game next week is the biggest in Welsh Rugby for the last 15-20 years. It’s a huge, huge race,” former Wales Fly-Half Dan Biggar said, he said ITV.
Even at this early stage of the tournament, the defeat in Rome will surely leave Wales on the way to successively six nations wooden spoons for the first time.
And if this was not alarming enough, with Ireland, Scotland and England coming, finding where this record will lose the series increases in difficulty if Azzurri prevails.
