Ireland turns to 'XV of the Rose' and deprives him of the Triple Crown and Grand Slam With a superb match, full of strength and courage and race that dominated from start to finish to his eternal 'enemy', the 'XV Clover' not only beat England by a clear and deserved 24-8, but ended the Six Nations with its first win of the tournament in the New Landsdowne Road, commercially known as Aviva Stadium, and also left the 'XV de la Rosa' without the Triple Crown and Grand Slam. Yes, eight years later ... the title went to the 'XV of the Rose' by the French 28-9 victory over Wales, facing the shock of Paris with an option of victory after stumbling English. Yes, the 'dragons' were to have won by more than 26 points.
The English only added a penalty stroke by Flood and an essay by veteran hooker Steve Thompson, after intercepting the oval to Redd in a 'touche' and run the meters that separated him from the goal line as if a local three quarters in question. In total, some pyrrhic 8 points, his lowest score in a match in the last five years. In addition, coach Martin Johnson remains well without going into the select group of players / coaches who have won a Grand Slam on the pitch and off the bench. For his part, Jonathan Sexton is 'doctor' for a large party, which regained the title, and not only ended up being chosen the 'Best Player of the meeting', but contributed four penalty strokes and good management of the game while Tommy Bowe and Brian O'Driscoll scored tests irlandeses.Especialmente important to the great captain of the Irish, who becomes the player who has won more tests in the history of the tournament, and that it was not granted one in the first half by a possible 'avant'. A total of 25 victories to surpass the mark of Scottish historical Ian Smith, achieved between 1924 and 1933, and had tied himself BOD in Cardiff seven days earlier.
In the 'game of truth' for England, where he had the opportunity to return to the 'front door' in the history of the tournament, winning the Triple Crown and Grand Slam, away the ghosts that came chasing since 2003, 'XV of the Rose' has been entirely overcome by Declan Kidney's men, very courageous from the start, with the aim to not only keep the great British success, but also not be the first Irish team had not won a game in his field in an edition of VI Naciones.En previous matches, the England forward was able to dominate the meetings to take the lead, assorted balls to Ashton and co. However, the package front of the 'Rosa' could not be exceeded at any time rivals. The Irish knew how to fix your line of defense, which was not transferred at any time. Once off the classic game of 'pick and go', Martin Johnson's men were unable to turn the game and were dominated by their rivals, who starred with Tony Bowe counter flashing as shown. The Ospreys wing split the defense knew English, he had no solution to retreat and give way. In the current rugby, the game is won by who plays in the opponent, whether it is as if the ball. And the game was played mostly on English soil. The area of \u200b\u200b22 Irish remained almost intact, with very few approaches ingleses.Irlanda players showed a very different side to the other parties in this year's Six Nations. He passed inaccuracies and lack of ambition that had characterized previous crash and was very strong on defense, securing their positions and not failing to leave knowing the tackles and quick in attack. England's response to the raids was green again and again engage in misconduct that became hits were brilliantly executed penalty by Jonathan Sexton, who was gradually taking advantage on the scoreboard to Ireland.
And is that a key to the match was the performance of the two means of opening, Jonathan Sexton and Toby Flood. Both run parallel paths having to be substituted in both cases, the myth of their respective teams: Ronan O'Gara and Jonny Wilkinson, respectively. So far, it seemed that English was much better by solving their situation, leading their selection to achieve victories. Meanwhile, Sexton could not seem to get rid of the shadow of O'Gara, who in games such as Italy, had to fix the outrages caused by the Leinster game. However, in the match against England, Sexton showed all the potential and sent in sabuebdi partidom dynamically distribute the ball and looking very safe in the shoots at goal.
contrast, Flood was overwhelmed by the situation and did not have a very small role in the game, leaving the entire weight of the direction of play to his scrum-half. Wilko took to the field when it was too late and the match was opted for Ireland 'XV Clover' took over the scoring from the start, coming to rest with a clear 17-3 against an England that seemed incapable of mastering the game and bring danger to the region rival. The nerves were taking over the England players. Proof of this was the autoexpulsión Ben Youngs. Inexplicably, the scrum half threw the ball into the stands under the nose of the linesman. The ten-minute suspension were required and this new fault England. eventually engulf the resumption, the picture changed almost nothing, but this second time, especially its inception, will be remembered for the already mentioned fact that the great Brian O'Driscoll came in Six Nations history, if not already, to get tested in the 47th minute, giving his team an advantage of 22-3 on the scoreboard, 'closed' meeting and nearly wiping the historic record of Ian Smith. .. Después.Irlanda 78 years finally took a convincing 24-8 victory. A great triumph, pity that had not shown the same determination in the game in the remaining games! ... because they could have fought for and won the title two years ago. By contrast, for England's victory in the tournament does not remove the doubts finally fly on their game since 2003 and 'Jono' and his players continue to sow doubt.
