Sir Clive Woodward, the Rugby World Cup-winning head coach, is confident that his pre-match advice contributed to England's impressive victory over Ireland in the Six Nations. England's win over the defending champions at Twickenham marked a significant turnaround for Steve Borthwick's team. The 23-22 triumph showcased England's best performance since the 2019 World Cup semi-final. Woodward praised the team for playing with breakneck speed, catching Ireland off guard. He highlighted the team's improved attack compared to previous games in the Six Nations, noting promising moments such as George Furbank's try. The decision to go for the corner rather than settle for posts paid off with Ben Earl's try, proving critics wrong. Despite a moment of doubt when Lowe scored his second try for Ireland, England rallied back, securing the victory with a last-minute kick from Marcus Smith. Woodward expressed hope that this win signals the beginning of something special for English rugby.
