I think in games like that, Colm, you've got to look at what you can be better at and some of the defensive mistakes that they probably made for the Italian tries.
And that's nitpicking.
But that's what sport is about.
You've got to find ways of... It's a completely different opponent this week.
You can't make defensive errors like they did last week and be a little bit soft and switch off because France will go the length of the field and score and punish you.
So I think that's what they've got to focus on.
And just there's a little bit of an edge to them.
There's a little bit of a physical edge, which is good.
And that's probably where they've come up short in the last few years, aside from, you know, making errors.
But I mean, just that physical presence.
Rugby is a physical game and...
Just being able to mix it and make those hits and when they carry, their accuracy first of all at the breakdown and then there's a physical presence there.
But I think Aoife Wafer and Erin King, obviously Aoife Wafer got a number of tries last week.
She was very prominent, so was Erin King.
But I think the English game, they were...
They were, you know, feeling their way back into it and getting the pace and tempo of international rugby.
They need big games.
There are big players, you know, Dorothy Wall coming back in.
She's got to be really, really, you know, prominent.
