England will be up for this one.
Playing at home in Twickenham, having just lost two on the bounce to Scotland and France, they will be fizzing to put down the league leaders.
This will be a different England.
No walk overs here.
It is not the players fault.
We saw it with Lancaster, they had a debacle at the RWC, and a few months later they were on fire with a new coach and a new strategy.
Here we are again and the coach is out of ideas and the players are out of position and England are facing another debacle.
The...
The Blues beat the British and Irish Lions, they can beat almost anyone except another Kiwi franchise.
A contest like this one will help to show them how to execute a smarter game management plan for future situations but more importantly this result means that their season isn't over after 3...
Your big problem is not the players.
England has excellent players like Courtenay Lawes who is an absolute world class lock.
Play him out of position and he's not world class. It's not his fault.
We played Kaino out of position in Chicago and ran him as a lock. He got his backside handed to him...
Rage, you and I are on the same page.
There's a rare thing...
On the other hand, England have great depth off their bench compared to France and when the circus clown empties the bench, regardless of their situation at that time, it will have a positive impact on the game for England and I...
It's true, the Blues fill all the holes for almost all the requirements needed to be top of the Kiwi franchises but one crucial area they really struggle in is game management.
They don't handle the pressure when it gets really tight.
They knock on and make poor decisions that they wouldn't have...
The handling errors from the Blues are simply unacceptable. They knocked on so much ball it's a wonder they managed to score any points.
The Mackenzie show rolls on and the Blues are on their way to the cellar again.
I love it when England get smashed.
The prissy trolls on here lose the plot.
That includes you Olly.
All manner of trolling and bad language is considered to be acceptable in the defence of national pride.
You got belted, you were very second best, and your coach is a muppet.
Grand Slam gone...
Ouch, more bitterness from the other pommie troll on here.
I watched the highlights already.
Lots of Scottish tries and excellent play.
England looked timid.
There is no problem with the English players, they are excellent when they are properly coached.
Lancaster in 2015
Jones in 2019
Game on...
Scotland had not scored a try against England at Murrayfield for 14 years...
14 years.
They scored 3 tries in the first half.
You got belted mate.
Man up and take it on the chin and stop crying like a baby.
You got belted by Scotland.
The English players showed poor discipline and a lack of...
Hansen didn't lose the series...
Jones has lost the Grand Slam opportunity England have been building toward.
Jones is beginning his downward spiral.
The fact is the money boys at the ERU are too tight.
Oh they will splash the cash in the business world for themselves and their cronies but when...
No mate, he's been told, it's in the news.
He wouldn't have signed for Easts post season on the cusp of the next RWC if he wasn't in the picture particularly as he is an incumbent and a RWC winner.
They want young blood and I am a fan of SBW, and I have to admit he hasn't been firing on all...
Ouch!
Somebody's bitter.
Having a look at the English comments on this thread from before the fixture commenced it's clear they saw this game as a walk over.
Getting outplayed from a pre-conceived walk over situation is getting 'found out'.
It was always going to happen.
