Maybe you should switch to curling or something Rugby doesn’t appear to be the sport for you Surely there's an argument on the Irish thread that needs your particularly brand of self-awareness... No doubt if there was you would still find your own unique way to join in and make a cúnt of yourself C...

Hamstring I think Borthwick said, or Achilles. Wasn’t a long injury I reckon but Borthers said he won’t make the next game.

Calf I think.

Glad to see the bench being trusted to come on much earlier.
CCS is going to be a hell of a player.

I think the Ireland pack thought they had it won before taking the field because England weren’t playing well. That’s why they played badly. Yup, the arrogance was beyond belief in the build up to this game. I'm loving our arrogance. We've become you from 20-30 years ago. We've made it The thing is...

As I correctly predicted yesterday, Ireland bottled it again. Poor leadership against a mediocre Sprinbok Lite team, you can see why England disposed of Farrell.

There's some warning signs for sure. Very addressable imo.

There’s a lot of them that are 30plus. I was surprised.

Ireland were muck, and that was 100% of England's capability. A 1pt win, at home, in the last minute, by a droppie. If Smith slips, you finish with two wins. If Ford doesn't pull that ridiculous kick off against Wales, you finish with one win. I'm sure you'll celebrate the win tonight, but it's rea...

Cole did a beautiful job on Porter.

Well. That was tremendous. Great game and so many moments when things were working.... I watched the Wibble Rugby video and thought "what are you going on about" but a lot of that was in the game. There were so many moments of improvement. The personnel changes, Feyi-Waboso, Martin, Furbank - all e...

fudge it lads we scored two unreal tries and we had a country with 20x our resources celebrating like they’d won the Webb Ellis after beating us by a drop goal in injury time. We can be proud of where we are at. Oh my. There’s footage out there of what it looks like when we win the Webb Ellis btw.

Our 9 and 10 are impossible to play off. Shockingly bad.

I suggest you listen to most recent edition's of The Ruck & Rugby Pod where clear from what respected commentators well Warburton at least are saying attack is clearly not being coached so handling the ball is absent which is unforgiveable. If the players need England coaches to teach them to pass ...

Reform hitting an all-time high in the polls - 14% according to the latest YouGov poll. Tories at 20%. It'll only get worse for Conservatives.

I don't know why people always point to stats "oh the other team actually kicked more" - yes, Russell kicks for territory, or cross-field - a lot. England box kick for kick chases which are 50-50 at best, and usually because either they have missed opportunities, are going nowhere, or because they ...

I'm not a fan of returning failures being thrown back in either. Have the hot-stepping speed bump stay on the bench for a year or four. The team is being built for him message. Like that or not it’s all built for him. I’d actually argue the next coach who comes in will build for him too. He’s the s...

Reading the article in the mail it seems Care and Ford could be completely dropped. Mitchell and Marcus Smith to start. :shock: I’m a massive Marcus Smith fan, but I think Finn should start and have Marcus come off the bench. I’m not a fan of returning players being thrown back in, Lawrence looked ...

Just watching Eggchasers post match video, gotta say Cockers is just too nice about this. I mean we're staring down the barrel of a 4th in 5 years 2 from 5. It's just not good enough. I honestly don't know why anyone listens to these blokes. It's just a constant stream of desperate contrarianism an...

Posted on the match thread, but anyway, I reckon there's 3 points of order for England to fix. 1. Defense. Needs more time to bed in but could be on to something with the Blitz. More time playing it will make England better at it. 2. Gut the half backs. Need a better pair of HBs to get the centres ...

Post match review: 1. Genge - 4/10 - Did he do anything good? 2. George - 4.5 - Meh 3. Cole - 6.5/10 - Good in the scrum and was properly putting himself about in the loose. 4.

Ford and Daly have to fudge off.

So after the ref calls tackle you can still drag a player into touch. Good to know.

What's Pivac up to these days?

I'm not sure he thinks care is a starter. I'd expect to see Spencer start or Randall straight in. I like Randall, I'd say he's second to Quirke on ability, bit why oh why is Quirke not there ahead of care and mitchell Let’s see if Quirke can put a decent run of games together without getting injure...

so we're judging mercer on another player now? just look a t his performane on the pitch. He’s been pretty ordinary this season. Last night you could see why he was player of the year in t14.

Hang on. We haven't even got a proper 8 in the squad other than Dombrandt who I think was called up. He was the T14 player of the year and then shortlisted again last year. Deserves to at least be in the squad just on that basis alone. I've watched him a couple of times this season and he's been ex...
