Ireland's hopes of a successive Grand Slam ended at Twickenham
"Gutted" was the word used by Jamison Gibson-Park after Ireland's last-gasp defeat to England to end Grand Slam hopes.
"It’s never easy losing. We are thankful over the last number of years that we have been on the right side of the ledge a lot of the time. “We put some good stuff out there as well and we were right in the game until the bitter end. I suppose the overall feeling is that there is a lot to learn and a lot to get better for next week.
"It will be tough but like I say, England showed up today and sometimes that's how the cookie crumbles and you don't end up on the right side of the result. “I think everyone is well aware that Felix has come from South Africa and he’s implementing that defensive system, so it’s nothing that we weren’t ready for."It's gutting, but plenty to learn and we'll have to show up for next week."
