Ragged, Ill-disciplined, if this is Borthwick's England, he can keep it
Let’s be generous and say Borthwick has sacrificed this tournament to work out what he has……..getting a lesson here, another try before half time.
Most points England have conceded at home in the 1st half of a 6 Nations game ! Everything about us is ****, this pack is utterly pathetic. Borthwick hasn't done anything about our discipline and our breakdown play is like an under 8's team ffs. So so poor
He was the safe and wrong appointment, we will only go further backwards under him.
I think you’re being a tad harsh. Eddie Jones single handily destroyed this team and the big wigs did not have the
️ to tackle him. The Irish team is 5 years in the making. Believe it or not this French team are 5-6 years in the making. Success in rugby takes years.SB needs time. There is only so much he can do in literally a few weeks. England have to suck it up now but will be a different well drilled team come the WC.
Your comments are unfair and unjustified and that’s from an Irishman
If France put their minds to it this could be any score they want...
TMO deciding on England score, not sure he had control of it....

Plus the French are ****ing good. I hope England improve, but I also hope the French, Irish and Springboks all go to the WC in form, make a great tournament, especially if we can see an improving All Blacks and wild cards like the Scots and the Argies messing things up.I think you’re being a tad harsh.

England score. About pride and intent now, if they can outscore the French this half we might feel differently, even if we lose.
Maybe this was part of the deal Sunak struck with Macron this week?
Yeah, Sunak managed to buy 10 points from Macron.
With regards that's utter bollox pal. The first thing he should've sorted out is the discipline, which has been a ****ing shambles ever since Woodward retired. Its cost us so many matches and will continue to until it is sorted out. You could have the best players in the world in your side, but if the discipline isn't there they'll lose. Absolutely nothing looks like it's been done to address it, clueless pen after clueless pen given away, leaving us with no chance to build any pressure. I fully expect a demolition job on us from Ireland, and a grim Workd Cup. I didn't think Borthwick was the right man for the job and nothings changed. Time will tell, but there's no defending that performance today !I think you’re being a tad harsh. Eddie Jones single handily destroyed this team and the big wigs did not have the

What do you think the response would be if the All Blacks lost at home by a record margin lol ?
I don’t know. I do think that the ‘typical’ England fan at Twickenham for a Test match is not exactly salt of the earth. I honestly don’t recall ever hearing any other international team being booed by their owns fans, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened.
The all blacks would probably hammer the next team to turn up
I really can’t believe you’ve posted that. England have had poor discipline for almost 10 years. The rugby world knows that. And you think a new manger can sort that within a few short weeks. Really!!!
France are years ahead of England at the moment but that’s not SB’s fault. It’s unfortunate for him he’s had France and Ireland next. England will be well drilled by September.
Not a good evening. Texts received from a few French friends who just wanted to get in touch. Whatever. Gonna take a while for them to forget this one.
