@chrisjonespress Not entirely sure why Borthwick picks any players outside 10 anyway, as the only game plan he has is to get 9’or 10 to kick it away. We have an embarrassment of riches in the wide areas, but the team is coached to never get the ball to them.
@rugbyontnt Same as the entire tour - underwhelming. This squad had so potential but seriously underdelivered. A real missed opportunity from both the players and coaches perspective.
@giteau_rugby George Ford. He’s been the best 10 in the Premier for the last month or so. Cannot see any possible reason to take M Smith ahead of Ford.
Also I think Ronald Kelleher ahead of Jamie George is a big call. Really don’t see what RK offers…
@wesstreeting Yes you really are making a difference. A few months back I got my appointment with a specialist confirmed for 2027. Keep up the good work.
@brettruganalyst This coaching team is not interested in playing any rugby at all. Total fixation with kicking it away. There are so many exciting players in England but it doesn’t matter as Borethwick only interested in stats. #borthwickout
@canido_steve This was about 3 yards more forward than the one that England got called back for. The inconsistency today was probably the worst I’ve seen for years.
@ajrblakey BO’K: next person who comes in and gets involved gets a yellow
Lowe comes in, gets involved and escalates situation.
BO’K: play on, penalty to Ireland
Also have to ask what the TMO was doing re the Curry headshot
@Daveandersod@IamAustinHealey There are no decision makers. Borthwick has seen to that. Coached them to kick away possession at the earliest opportunity. Haven’t seen the stats, but I’m not sure England put 3 phases together in the second half. It has to be coached. Borthwick has to go.
@UKLabour Maybe focus on the job, rather than pointing fingers. You’ve had 14 years of pointing fingers and saying you’d do things better. Now you’re in power, you’ve actually got to deliver on all those promises you made.
@baronlordvader@RachelReevesMP Quick, look over there….
She learned this trick from ‘the Usborne book on trying to distract people from the fact that you lied on your cv and you’re dangerously under qualified for your job’
@SkyNews In literally any other occupation, if you deliberately mislead your employer/customer you are held to account.Why is it that politicians can say whatever they like without consequence? We have been conditioned as a society that “it’s what politicians do” but why is it acceptable?
