A demoralising opening round defeat to Wales, 31-5, was followed up by a hammering at the hands of the French in Musgrave Park.There was some hope that Italy might provide a chance for the team to snatch a win but, despite better territory and possession stats, Ireland were not clinical enough in the red zone and were constantly let down at the lineout and by poor handling.Opponents don't come any more difficult than England, World Cup finalists last year.
