Our Stokes team were outgraded by more than 400 elo on average against Ireland and England. Sometimes you just have to congratulate your opponents and say that they had the better teams.

I agree that we can learn from what other nations are doing. But I disagree that we need to "look seriously" at our selection procedures. It would not have mattered which team we sent in the Stokes, they would have been heavily outgraded. And, having seen our coaching set up, I am confident that it's heading in the right direction. The rate of improvement of many of our players is highly encouraging. I really don't think we can look at a couple of 6-0 defeats in isolation and suggest everything is a complete disaster. Those matches were closer than the scorelines would suggest. Learn lessons... absolutely. But coaching takes time; so let's give it time.
