Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
England will deviate from plans quite easily. The players cannot possibly have faith in the system of some of their fellow players because it has zero track record, until you build a record put under pressure players will try to find solutions and that takes the away from 'the plan' One might also w...

Re: Borthwick OUT!!!
The 'dip' in coaching talent is an interesting claim.

England need to let the new defense bed in, then they'll see less handling errors etc. But yas need to gut the half backs. Marler and Co aren't the dominant scrummagers they used to be.
