Ireland have rightfully been praised to the heavens since their 42-21 win over England on Saturday.
Andy Farrell's men dominated in nearly every area of the game, and won most of the big moments.
They were accurate in their execution, clever in their decision making, while a number of individuals, including Jamison Gibson-Park, Stuart McCloskey, Tadhg Beirne and Robert Baloucoune, had some of the best performances we have seen in green.
However, one man has gone against the grain and stated that the scoreline was purely a result of a poor England performance.
Speaking on The Good, The Bad & The Rugby podcast, former England star and World Cup winner, Mike Tindall, came out with this rather bizarre point of view.
He said: "They were desperate to win that game and I think a few of their individuals stood up and had great games.
"But, and there is a big but in this. They did not have to do anything to win that game. It was all given to them by England."
