You kept telling me Farrell was world class ! I kept telling you he wasn't and has been holding us back for years. Do you agree now that we'd be better off starting Smith and attempting to play a more expansive game ? Not that it's gonna happen under this coach. Terrible appointment

France all the way. Borthwick is still trying to figure out how to fix Jones’ work, and clearly isn’t sure about his backs, or at least playmaker, yet.

However, if we run at them, as he says we will, it could be fun. And France haven’t been that great so far…….

Really looking forward to this one. If England keep it simple and can keep penalties to single figures then it should be a belter

I have but all seems a bit sneaky to me. Play Farrell there in the 2 games we should win and play Smith there against the 2 strongest teams. If we get pummelled no doubt that will be the excuse needed to say Smith isn't ready. We are too weak in the pack at the moment and added with Farrell's constant kicking the ball away it is costing us possession in attacking areas. Smith was sent back to play for his club, where he was man of the match and now recalled to start with Fird being omitted from the squad. All very strange

****'s sake.
Are you ever happy?
You got your wish.
 
You can’t build phases and momentum if you keep kicking the ball away. Especially to a team that are very comfortable with you doing it

****ing awful from England this is, mistake after basic mistake. Discipline poor and just hopeless at the breakdown, things aren't looking good.
 
Jeez, our pack is utter ****e. Getting properly shown up here by a top team. I hate to think what Ireland are gonna do to us !
