Youngs ok when the ruck is quick
Still dilly dallys too much

Furbank is so far away from international quality it's frightening.

With Nowell off we now have zero wingers on the field.

Stodgy in hand and kicking away far too often. No pace or power on the wings.

It shows where Jones is that he's trying gimmicks like Genge carrying from the backfield.

We have a truly world class pack being wasted by poor coaching and selection.

On the plus side. Steward is outstanding.

That turnover penalty was embarrassing!


England to not score a try all game

Do England have a breakdown coach? The backs are not competing and all the French team are clearing our guys out and our back row are not keeping up with play.

Our back row isn't in the game atm. Personally Lawes to 2nd row, Dombrant and Chessum on for Simmonds and Isiekwe.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Front row are running with the ball rather than clearing rucks

How can a team with Itoje, Genge, Steward, Simmons, Lawes etc etc be THIS bad?

Answer. Coaching

It’s not a new thing. Eddie Jones has form. He comes in,he whips everything into shape and he gets incredible short term results. But he has a short shelf life. His tactics either go stale,he upsets everyone or he flogs everyone to death. He should never have been kept on. Let’s pray theres enough money left in the coffers to bin him or kiss the chance of even competing in the 2023 RWC goodbye!

Not often agree with you, but 100% here. Full coaching clearout. (Sorry Cockers)
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

But dare I suggest that even Cockers is a patchwork appointment due to others moving on. If it’s going to happen has to happen on Monday, but where do you find a full coaching team with international experience with no notice

We look like 15 players who have never met.

Inconsistent selection. Poor coaching. Players out of position.
