James Ryan insists 'je ne regrette rien' following his call to take the points late on in Ireland's six-point loss to France.
Captaining the side in the absence of Johnny Sexton in Paris, it fell to the 25-year-old to decide whether or not to kick to the corner or ask out-half Joey Carbery to add three points to the score in the round two Guinness Six Nations match.
That still would have left Ireland requiring a try to win the game. Previously Josh van der Flier had scored from a close-range lineout drive but they had also lost possession from a similar position.
It was a call that raised a lot of questions in the immediate aftermath of the 30-24 loss.
France, many reckoned, were blowing hard under the posts and happy enough to see the referee indicate a shot at goal.
As it happened Ireland fell six points behind but did get one last possession, which came to nothing.
Les Bleus, who face Wales on Friday night in Wales, remain on course for a Grand Slam.
Ryan, who declared himself "good to go" after missing the win over Italy, spoke about that crucial call in Stade de France.
"Look, we made the decision, we kinda moved on," said the lock.
"As Johnny said to me many times before, whatever decision you make, you have to make the most out of it.
"You make the decision and then you've got to make it right.
"Often these things can be very outcome-based but yeah, you back your feel, you back what you think is right.
"You can only make the right decision that you think and then you go with it. That's it really.
"I didn't feel a massive weight on my shoulders or a huge amount of pressure.
"We felt good at that point of the game, we came back into the game. I felt fine. We went with what we thought was the right call."
Ireland have lost their last three matches at Twickenham but won last season's fixture in an empty Aviva Stadium.
Asked to summarise what Irish packs have done well when beating England, the Leinster second row said: "Set-piece is huge, how accurate we can be with our lineout in terms of our strike plays.
"They've got individuals that really like to disrupt the set-piece and we've got to be really accurate there.
"Our ruck is massive. I think it has come on a lot in the last 12 months. Against Italy, it was okay but against France, we probably went a little bit away from it.
"For us, it's not making assumptions, that's what we've spoken about - not assuming that just because our ruck has been good so far that it's just going to be good at the weekend. We've got to keep driving the things that we're good at.
"So definitely set-piece and ruck are huge for us going away from home and playing a big, physical English pack. They're two areas that will be at the forefront of our minds as an Irish forward pack
"Paulie [O’Connell] would drive the 'targeting' message, so targeting bodies and almost ignoring the ball and targeting the threat. That's big for us.
"Another area would be around ending the contest before the tackle is finished, so winning the race, getting in there nice and early, and if we do that, we can play on top of teams and play early to space.
"It's the core of our attack and we've got to keep being aggressive, early, and accurate."
One of the characteristics of the English pack is the use of verbals and sledging opponents at breakdown and turnover time.
"In terms of vocally, they’re all very vocal lads," said the second row, who is in line for his 43rd cap.
"When you’re playing England, [like] whenever you play Saracens... they like to bring that vocal pressure.
"I think that’s a big part of their defence or has been anyway. So as I said yeah, they’d all be on that level."
