embarrassing. If this is the best that England can offer, it's scarcely worth their going to France for the Rugby World Cup next month. 29-10 and Ireland weren't as good yesterday as they were when they smashed England in the Six Nations earlier in the year and England  played better in that game than they did yesterday.
