People criticizing that performance just don’t know how hard it is to win away from home in Six Nations. That was an exceptional effort with 14 men in my opinion.

Furlong is different gravy on reflection - he is so much better than any other 3 in the world in the loose I think. His ball handling is akin to Retallick, it’s a game changer and so hard to defend because if you hold off to defend pass it’s a big gain line loss
