But that was right back there, and it was huge.
So you have to weigh that against... Here's a metric you could throw in, and again, let's see what you think, but if we'd played that well against France, we wouldn't have scored that many points.
France would not have given up.
Four of those choice, maybe one, maybe two, not four of them.
So you have to temper, you know, the success of that performance.
And it was in Twickenham.
It was Six Nations.
We took them to the woodshed.
I don't want to take anything from that, but that would not happen against France.
And that's your benchmark now.
And look at England now, where are they?
We said it before the game, if we beat England in Twickenham, it could be a turning point for us, but it would be disaster for England.
They're in a shambles now.
They have no idea where they're going.
They're back to root and branch stuff.
So I would say magnificent performance, hats off, under a lot of pressure.
And that's part of it too.
You go there, you're away from home, you've got to deliver.
And you pull out a performance like that, but you have to say England were just brutal.
And I think you have to factor that into it.
