[Other Sport] Egg Chasing

[Icy Gull]

Wales looking like world beaters against possibly the most error strewn and pathetic performance I can remember from an England team.

Bring back Eddie Jones

I know it’s a scratch team but bloody hell, 16 handling errors, virtually every second half line out lost. Amateur hour

 

[strings]

Jones should have either been sacked a year earlier, or kept.

Borthwick needs another year to get this team clicking. The only blessing is that I imagine that he used today to test out the 'maybe' players, England may look better with the first choice 15... however we need more than 15 players to do well in a world cup.

England looked poor this evening.

 

[Eeyore]

England have, on paper, a fortunate World Cup draw that should see them to the last eight or semis. So time on their side to build without too much embarrassment.

 

[The Mole]

Great comeback by Scotland with 14 men

 

[Pavilionaire]

Borthwick is a rubbish coach, light years behind coaches like Andy Farrell, Warren Gatland and Saracens'Mark McCall, and worse than Jones. An embarrassing result going into a World Cup, but credit to Wales.

 

[Icy Gull]

After watching that second half and seeing these comments from the Borthwick I can only conclude that he’s totally deluded

England's 20-9 defeat by Wales will be a "positive" for the team in the long term, says head coach Steve Borthwick.

Eddie Jones isn't doing great at the moment either

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Given up on England, I am going to the World Cup and likely be supporting France as they deserve a World Cup, given how well they did in the 6N. Tbh I've lost interest in rugby all together of late, the RFU are depressing to say the least as they are so deluded.

I’d like to lose interest in England but instead it just makes me angry. We do, imo, have the players but can’t get the right coach. Bizarre that I can be Meh about the England football team but not the rugby one,

Like you I will be supporting France once we’ve fallen flat on our faces.

I bloody love rugby union and prefer International rugby union to International football, I won’t let England being shit spoil my enjoyment of the tournament

I was joking when I said bring him back btw

Almost as deluded as Jones:

Australia will win World Cup, says Eddie Jones despite New Zealand comeback

Richie Mo’unga kicked an 80th-minute match-winning penalty to complete a powerful second half New Zealand revival that left Eddie Jones, the Australia head coach, still searching for a first win after four matches in charge.

I was wanting Jones gone two years before it happened, and yes he is and has been deluded for years now.

Neither England or Australia are in with a sniff imo

Yeah agree with all of this, bar international football which in tournaments, I love.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

What the hell is going on with England? I am absolutely astounded at how shit we are. I'm going to the WC in France and I'm dreading seeing England. I am also furious at the state of the RFU. We have it so lucky at the FA currently, they much better run these days than the RFU. The RFU is run by dinosaurs who are so up their own arse. Boerthwick is a twat too.

I'd be very disappointed if you meant that after all the arguments we had. Next you'll be saying what a good game the ref had after our next defeat.

What will I do then ?
