In no way did the RFU or the England team underestimate the challenge that the Ireland team would pose. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were well beaten by a team who played better and we have the utmost respect for Ireland coach Declan Kidney and the Irish players.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The shoot took place halfway through England&#8217;s Six Nations campaign, when they appeared to be well on course for the Grand Slam. <\/p>\n<p>But their hopes were dashed at Lansdowne Road, where a brilliant Ireland performance saw the hosts win 24-8.
