While there is no doubt that England deserved to beat Ireland in the Six Nations at Twickenham last weekend, some in the Irish rugby setup will have regrets over the way they lost the game.
Andy Farrell's men may have been outplayed for the vast majority of the contest, but they still went into the dying moments of the match ahead on the scoreboard.
Marcus Smith's late drop goal was a dramatic moment, although it was known for some time before that they were on the verge of kicking the winning points. Ireland gave away two penalties during that sequence of play, the second of which was right under the posts.
That passage of play all started when Conor Murray opted to kick away possession with 90 seconds left in the game, with Ireland holding onto a two-point lead. That is a decision that has been questioned over the last few days.

Rugby: Kearney explains why Murray's England kick was the wrong call
It has been suggested by some that Ireland should have looked to hold onto the ball for the rest of the game, although that would have been a risky strategy. Giving away a penalty inside your own 22 likely would have seen them lost the game in any case.
Rob Kearney believes that the decision to kick was the right one, although he disagreed with the method with which it was carried out.
Speaking on Second Captains, the former Ireland fullback explained why he would have had a couple of other Irish players take that clearing kick ahead of Conor Murray. He also suggested that the call to kick it out of play originally came from the sideline.
There's a lot in it. You could argue so many different ways forward.
If you hold onto the ball for 90 seconds in your own 22, referees are looking very hard to try and give a penalty away from you. If you go sealing, off your feet at a breakdown, that is one thing they are very hot on.
I think the decision to kick was the right decision. I know there was a call coming from the touchline to get it off the field. It wasn't a bad kick, it wasn't a great kick either. Another ten or 15 metres there is well within Conor's arsenal.
What would I have liked to seen done? A pass back to James [Lowe] or Jack [Crowley] and boot it 60 metres down the field and you chase as hard as you can.
You play one person in the backfield, you have 14 in your frontline, and you just make them play out of their own half. 60 or 70 metres is a long way to go to try and get a try...
We probably could have managed it a lot better. In all of that, we would probably still back this team and they would back themselves to be able to defend for 90 seconds a set-piece move on their own 10-metre line.
Rob Kearney has a point here.
Allowing England to launch an attack from a set-piece was certainly a big decision, especially when you consider how strong Steve Borthwick's men are in that area. Making them attack from deep and in a less methodical fashion would have made getting that winning score a lot more difficult.
It would be interesting to see what route they would go down if they found themselves in a similar situation at the end of a rugby fixture over the coming months. Andy Farrell may claim that he has no regrets about Ireland's approach in the game, but this might well one of them.
