Very good players trying to do it on their own outside the gameplan

Yep, individually they are fine, as a team poor..

England should have won this

Just don’t think England have the cattle. Dan Cole in 2024. Henry Slade in 2024. Not got the dudes.

You can carry those guys and ask them to do a job so long as the coaching is good and the other 13 players on the pitch engage their brains.

Time running out for England.

As soon as the last try it was all over, England don't have the composure and bok defence to good for them to score ten in ten

They are! They're trying to figure out what to do to get some shape because their coaching is terrible.

If that's them engaging their brains, it doesn't say much about the English "public" school system.
