"I was on daddy daycare, so it was 'there you go!' Straight back down to earth - changing nappies and doing school runs", he said.
Eddie Jones declared "we're nowhere near our best" after four tries were engineered in a 32-20 victory over defending champions Ireland that produced a first win at the Aviva Stadium for six years.
"I think it's something that happened two years ago against the All Blacks, I think we got bullied here and you've got to be prepared to give as good as you get".
"We've tended to finish the Six Nations off pretty strong, even going back to the Six Nations we've won".
Losing their key second row for Sunday's fixture with France and nearly certainly Wales a fortnight later is a substantial blow to Eddie Jones's men.
Mako Vunipola was colossal, with 27 tackles, 11 ball carries and not an inch conceded against Tadhg Furlong while Jamie George, Mark Wilson, Tom Curry and Owen Farrell had the game of their lives; epitomising England's fighting spirit in a fixture which they hadn't won since 2011.
These two sides have dominated the competition since 2013, with the Irish looking to secure back-to-back Championship's under Joe Schmidt. He said: "He's going to be the best lock in the world so it's a big loss.' While some reports have suggested that the 24-year-old will be sidelined for eight weeks, sources have indicated to Sportsmail that that would be the worst-case scenario".
Brett Brown comments on Fultz trade
He had from the same injury and was forced to sit for much of his rookie season past year , appearing in just 14 games. Fultz who's just 20 years old has been in and out of the lineup with a nagging shoulder and wrist injury.
He said: "These games have got nothing to do with the World Cup".
"We couldn't assume we could rock up and just deliver a performance that they (England) would accept".
"We probably didn't have the same physical edge that they did. We have to sort that out".
"They're a top side and they put in some really good hits out there".
Henry Slade crossed twice and Jonny May and Elliot Daly also touched down as England overran opponents who entered the World Cup year as pretenders to New Zealand's throne.
The irony was that such a ploy has become a signature of Ireland, with star wing Jacob Stockdale the main proponent.
"I like to think that we can demonstrate we can take a step up next week and, beyond that, we can demonstrate how we can get back into the tournament because it is a very tough championship".
