Is it just me, but without Fazlet, we actually play quite well. He unbalances the selection and both EJ and SB seem to be blind to it. He should be renamed Albert Ross, cos he certainly is for England.

But he’s a great leader 😂 OF that is
The big game players, Genge, Itoje just floating through the game with little impact. GF having no influence or ball. As for captain clown he is just a negative and a bad influence on all this mess.
He is,he’s a hindrance! Hes not good enough to be ripping everything up and shoehorning him in all the time!

A nice knock on at the end to show his skill set!! He is a hindrance, all of them caps he has got has dragged England rugby down year after year. He might be the record points scorer but he won’t be remembered for anything positive. Surely Wigan Warrors can slot him back into league somewhere!!!

I think England are rubbish and SB is the clueless one in all of this. Refs are not great but all the big boys even with the poor decisions would dispatch Samoa without an issue.

He isn’t a good enough 12 and his presence seems to cramp Ford so yes he shouldn’t be in the starting 15

Not just Farrell though this insistence on playing Tuilagi, yes he had 4 carries but defensively he’s dreadful and hasn’t been seen after 15 minutes.
Borthwick biggest issue is his conservatism in selection which is why I think Tigers will prosper under Mckellar

Was very good but likely to be dropped for the next game for Morgan unless Faletau is injured and he fits them both in

The insistence on Farrell has pushed Manu out to 13 too where he has trouble defensively,his partnership with Marchant was starting to come on too. Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s the fall guy at HT
