But effective. I'd give anything now for a boring All Blacks team who were as ruthless as this England set up. Instead we have clown Foster and his circus.

Loved May jumping to hit the guy in the chops with his shoulder and then doubling down by pulling his headgear off in the next motion. Keep that up and you could be an AB son!

That's the thing though, they aren't ruthless.
They make hard work of it.
And it's so ponderous.
They're the Arsenal of International rugby.

They make life hard for themselves by sticking to their bully style of play. But they make it even harder for their opponents, which I guess is kinda the point

@MiketheSnow They win lots and don't lose much and that's what it's all about.

Never in question.
But against second string sides they could really let it flow.
And who knows, they may get better at it and use it when it matters.

@MiketheSnow Mike, it was a hard watch and I walk away from it feeling unsatisfied but I’m not sure %Eddie does. I don’t think his agenda was to stick 80 points on Georgia but to test areas of our game plan in a match we were never going to lose. He didn’t pick a side to play an open game with inventive back moves. He will look at this as a good step on the road (can’t bring myself to say journey). I will look on it as an 80 minutes bore fest.
But at the end we stuck 6 tries on them to nil and didn’t play that well.

Ireland team to play England. A mere 5 residency players and 3 parental qualifying in the squad. If Farrell had picked McGrath instead of Murray it could have been 9. Still, with about 7 or 8 regular first-teamers out, it was inevitable that this was going to happen as Farrell looks to develop/give game time to some newer names, particularly at 9/10/15/17.
Stockdale and Henderson available but only make it to the bench. Furlong, Scannell, Baird, Leavy, Conan, Sexton, Ringrose, Henshaw, and Larmour not available through injury/recovery.
15-9
Hugo Keenan, Keith Earls, Chris Farrell, Bundee Aki, James Lowe, Ross Byrne, Jamison Gibson-Park
8-1
Caelan Doris, Peter O'Mahony, CJ Stander, James Ryan, Quinn Roux, Andrew Porter, Rónan Kelleher, Cian Healy
Reps
Rob Herring, Ed Byrne, Finlay Bealham, Iain Henderson, Will Connors, Conor Murray, Billy Burns, Jacob Stockdale.Unlikely to be a cracker, if Ireland can keep it to under 10, they should be lucky.

Under 10 they'll be ecstatic.
Will be more like 20-26

Welsh team to play Georgia on Saturday 21 November at 17.15 GMT
Really don't know how Elliot Dee is starting. His lineout accuracy is on-par with SAGE's COVID-19 predictions.
Good to see Botham having a start. He's been on fire.
Backline looks exciting as fuck. Just give them the ball.

@MiketheSnow I see Pivac has gone back to the good old Sidcup boy at 13. Seems to now be looked at as a second stringer, seeing as this is Georgia? Was his defence that suss?
