      God I can’t stand him. His heart might be in the right place but he’s hideously overpromoted, has picked a massively out of their depth coaching team, and hasn’t a clue how to get the best out of a really talented group of players. I really hope the RFU grow a pair and fire him when we come 4th (if we’re lucky) in this Six Nations.

    Borthwick talks about our team like they're a non-league soccer club putting in a commendable performance in the FA cup against a top Premier League side. To answer the question he dodged; No, it's absolutely not acceptable for an England rugby team to have seven defeats in the last nine games with the only wins being against Japan. What do he and his coaching staff intend to do about it? Not alot apparently.

  • @AlistairTutton
    @AlistairTutton 5 годин тому +11

    “An England team that’s been building over the last six months” - quote by Borthwick - that’s a factual inaccuracy or could be referred to as a lie. This time has been largely bedded in and consistent since the World Cup when a whole host of players retired. Have the courage to actually own the loss on the basis of your ongoing team selection. Stop deflecting.
