I suspect Furbank has made less meters and less as a proportion if the whole teams than Freddie did in the game against Wales. We have done all the running round in circles and Scotland have picked us off.

people forget that not only does Freddie often take the catch he usually gains ground when landing. Ollie Lawrence looking like he's been out for months not a few weeks

Really poor game. England have made so many errors, it's ridiculous.

If things don’t get better he won’t make the next WC.

Surely be some question marks over him if we lose against France and Ireland (highly likely).

I really don’t see much improvement if any from Jones tenure

Remember the WC - other than a dodgy ref call we were finalists

England just seem like a mess of light weight, inconsistant, weak individuals, SB not playing your number 1 full back is just bizarre, we don’t have the resources to pick and choose, Furbank has shown he is not an international player many moons ago. As for Daly that is just a yawn and continues to be every time he is in the team.

SB isn’t building for the future with that mess!!
