    Now England up against Japan.
    Should be interesting as Japan have really upped their game in recent years.
    Very quick team.

    Tempting fate but I don’t think Japan are as good as 4 years ago.

    Hope they just continue with Ford and that he keeps dropping goals.

    Yeah, having Farrell out might suit us more against Japan.

    Ford living dangerously there, could have given away a try.

    Yeah, we need to get a grip and then retain the ball when we have it.

    Piss poor play by England
    The kicking
    The handling
    The set play

    We played better with 14 men against the Argies

    True.

    We should still manage to do this but it’s painful to watch.

    It's like trying meet up with Chippy for a pre match beer when there's a sale on at Primark. You know what 'should' happen, but it doesn't quite go as expected.

    It's a horrible watch
    Fans are starting to boo all the kicking not finding touch or finding an English man

    Rightly so.
    They are sending a clear message to the team and to Borthwick.

    First time they play along the back and it's so much better

    And a try
