    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.

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

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

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

      Based on what?

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

                    Maybe shuffle Borthwick into a selector position, he's got that almost spot on. Then get some coaches, fuck any coaches. They can't be worse.

                        Scoreline flattered England in the end. Even though they went down to 14 men that was fairly comfortable for South Africa in the end.

                            Saffers never looked like losing that, they are a very good team, dare I say the current best team in the world. England looked like they always tried to find new ways of fucking it up

                                  SA played poorly. Not accurate and discipline let them down. England in with a real chance there

                                          Saffers never looked like losing that, they are a very good team, dare I say the current best team in the world. England looked like they always tried to find new ways of fucking it up

                                          @Tordah said in England vs Springboks:

                                          England looked like they always tried to find new ways of fucking it up

                                          TBF, they exceeded all expectations.
