                I’d just like to say

                Woo hoo.

                3 6N championships in 5 years. We might actually be getting somewhere.

                  England nobbled by the Auld Alliance in this comp.

                  Commentators saying ' hey, it's only two games, our win % is still high'. Cant wait until it becomes three in a row next week.

                      What chance of an Irish grand slam next week at Twickers?

                      Will be getting up for that for sure. Disclaimer - significant Irish Heritage.

                        ... and Eddie is true to form starting to have the wheels come off a coupel of years in. I think he's an abrasive micro manager, which works in the short term, but becomes massively irritating in the medium term. Just about every team he has coached have wound up parting ways, usually quite vigorously. World cup suddenly looks very close, and also a long way away 🙂

                          What surprises me is that he has made very little Cha be in playing style. Plodding behemoths with the odd talented runner that gets the odd opportunity.
                          Once teams work out how to face up to the bully the effectiveness lessens.

                            I expect these losses are down to the focus on a game in November rather than taking it one game at a time.

                              Is that the game between the 1st and 2nd* ranked teams in the world on 11 November?

                                Ha, didn't realise the slip down had happened but I guess losing to Scotland and France eats a chunk of points.

                                  Yep. I thought it was going to be a repeat of the Ireland game.

                                  I only saw the last 20 mins but Peyper was very lax at the breakdown.

                                    I don't really think that plays into it. If they were trying different things or players I could believe that was the case but this is simply a team that has a stale style and a lack of on field vision.
                                    I'm not writing them off though, they are still good enough to beat good teams but they aren't the scary juggernaut they were being made out to be.

                                        I'm sure I'll hear that one from plenty of locals in the coming months.

                                          Wow, England just got beaten by France in the womens 6N! France now topping the women's table.

                                          England had beaten France in the U20s earlier this weekend. France has the first spot on that table because of a huge points differential.
