In fairness, given that it's an invitational coach coaching England, I'm guessing little or no structures have been put in place so White has nothing better to do than divert to default and play slow ball.

To be honest I also thought it possible.
The England energy had been good.
Mallinder looks to have made some clever selections given the fixture with some very hungry and quick players against some older legs and a bit of a ragged structure.

When speed was required he got the ball away, if no one is in place he doesn’t. What is this fascination with getting the ball away if there is no one in place.
Spencer has had a nice little cameo since he has been on.

Dombrandt Marchant and Smith will be in the extended 45, but I think only Dombrandt has a chance to be on the plane to japan

He killed the game,a SH should be scanning BEFORE he gets to the ball ours seem to look left then right once they get there and touch the ball!!

What rubbish, yes he should be scanning but if the runners aren’t there is he just supposed to pass the ball to no one because Scott says so.
People need to look at what has actually happened rather than preconceptions, as for killing the game England scored some of their best try’s when he came on.

Oh well that’s 2 for the foe list in 1 afternoon

Some people don't like the truth and how dare anyone criticize a Tiger,even one of their own fans! It's my opinion and I think White and Youngs both slow any momentum down on a regular basis. So do many,many other fans of Tigers, England and the sport!

I’d prefer to say people’s opinions are just being polarised because they’re angry at the current situation of the club, I wonder what that mirrors? :smt017
