I really like him as a player, but Smith is having a mare.

Abysmal in every aspect of the game. I’ve never seen an England team as poor as that.Originally posted by RichC View PostLost for words with that tbh
They seem totally devoid of any sort of attacking shape. Marcus Smith just doesn’t fit this structure. But I’m not sure Farrell makes a difference either.
What a drop off from the last WC.Modifying post.

Totally agree on Borthwick, not sure he has the right game plan for this level. Seems even more pragmatic than Eddie Jones.Originally posted by RichC View PostHave to own that performance, absolutely dreadful effort but I’ll not take away from the French, they were very good and deservedly absolutely spanked us.
I had a horrible feeling Borthwick might just be more of the same and he’s going to have a hell of a job to try and turn this around
Ireland away next not the game you want.Modifying post.

I didn’t see the games today but that scoreboard is WOW. We’ll either be licking our wounds or going for a grand slam. To be honest the amount of times one of us “smaller Celtic nations” have tripped England up when they were going for something makes me wary.Originally posted by Buzzo View PostTotally agree on Borthwick, not sure he has the right game plan for this level.

England aren’t even on the radar - all about tomorrow. I’m intrigued to see how Scotland handle the pressure of going for a triple crown at home and being favorites
