"Unlucky,'' he said, "doesn't go with being a double Lions tourist.'' It's high time greyhounds one, four and six came in.. A plantation of banana skins has come between England and the domination of Europe They cannot begin to contemplate another slip-up. If the Red Rose army beat a retreat from Dublin this afternoon it will cost them not just the Six Nations Grand Slam but almost certainly their dream of the World Cup later this year They would be scarred for life. They would be scarred for life.

It is one of the reasons why England should beat Ireland at Lansdowne Road There are others.Beginning with the front row, the English pack is a stronger, more experienced unit; in Matt Dawson and Jonny Wilkinson they have arguably the best half-backs in the world; and they have pace and strength in a three-quarter line which contains, in Jason Robinson, the single most offensive player since Jonah Lomu.Robinson may be half Lomu's size, but the net impact is the same; mayhem. It seems to me that the presence of Robinson, who has to be guarded like Hannibal Lecter, gives others more freedom."The second you overmark someone you let others through,'' Greenwood said. "Jason will be marked like hell from a midfield scrum, and if you kick badly to him the alarm bells will be ringing. Crikey, you're always aware of him, but I don't think sides can afford to put two or three players on him. Having said that, when he's been on the field for us this season he's scored three tries He's a pleasure to play with. It's exciting and enjoyable, and when you're in amongst it it's easy to lose sight of those two words.''They were uppermost in his mind last season when England beat Ireland 45-11 at Twickenham, scoring four tries in 20 minutes before half-time. Greenwood, who scored two tries before exchanging jerseys with O'Driscoll, was the game's leading ball-carrier with 27 incursions England delivered 22 passes to the wings, Ireland three.
England missed one tackle out of 56, Ireland missed 42 out of 101.Has the subsequent loss of the backs coach Brian Ashton to the National Academy interrupted the flow? Greenwood thought about it for a long time. "Brian's a top boy and has a lot to offer, but then so has everybody on the coaching staff.'' Ashton and Greenwood go back a long way. "When my dad moved to Italy in the Seventies Brian was my baby- sitter. After that he was my teacher at Stoneyhurst.''Will's father is Dick Greenwood, the England coach between 1983 and 1985.
