The harshest thing about losing is that it opens the door to change and England must embrace that opportunity according to Will Greenwood in the Daily Telegraph.
"England lost the [Ireland] match, confirming my biggest fear that the current side can outplay opponents and still not win games. When the chips were down, England had neither the class to create and take three chances, nor could they scramble well enough to stop Ireland taking their half-chances.
"...Now Johnson has a massive call to make. Does he stick with the guys who have shown improvement but still look short of footballing ability and raw speed? Or does he twist and pick players who seem to carry those attributes in club rugby but are untested at the highest level. I know that it is easy to dissect a team from the living room and with the benefit of hindsight. Even so, I think there are some changes that would benefit England."
