There is no defence to the fact England lost to an Aussie team who were down to 14 men for 45+ minutes.

I am pretty confident to say that EJ will not bring us World Cup glory if he is in charge, would love to eat my words but he is never going to energise, reinvigorate this current crop of players he keeps selecting. The team, game plan just all seems a mess!!

The usual stream that I watch, vk.com/rugbyon sofa is not working this afternoon.
Does anyone have any other options?
Cheers.

As I have said he is not going anywhere till after the world cup, I also think that there is a very good chance that England end up winning this series which changes the complexion quite a bit. For me the big tell will be the autumn internationals with NZ and SA coming to Twickenham, I think that will be when we see this England team at full bore in quasi world cup knock out mode.
Should be in full bore now,the Northern and Southern Hemisphere leagues almost finished at the same time,not waiting until the SH players are smashed to bits after their domestic leagues,summer tours and then RC while ours are fresh!
Why? There is no great prize for beating Aus now. If you look at the world cup draw England will have 2 extremely hard matches in the semis and final, mostly likely having to play a combo of NZ, SA or France. Like the last world cup where he very specifically targeted the NZ game what I would expect is that in the autumn is to look for odd moments of England exploiting areas where they think these teams are vulnerable, they won't occur all match and will only happen a few times but that will be the real test and then I would expect the same against France in the 6 nations.
Why not go full bore now?! Enjoy your night Wig 👍

Very good so far from Weise after a shaky start,one great take right on the touchline and having the strength to stay in play

Clever play by SA forcing the 9 to carry into traffic so Wales didn’t have an out

I think Biggar was within his rights to question the ref there, was a bit unnecessary for De Allande to drag Williams out of the ruck like that

The World Cup is played next September not this summer, you only have to look at Ireland last world cup cycle to see how well playing full bore a year before the comp goes.
