[2024 Six Nations] England vs Ireland - 09/03/24

You can actually see what Borthwick is trying. Credit where credit is due.
Tbf we said this after the Boks semi
Next week is gonna be really interesting


Buzzing, don't get me wrong - but I don't consider us as having turned a corner yet
 
Really good win for England that, important for them as for some time they've not looked half as dangerous as today. They made a pigs ear of it in that second half but generally displayed a clear a blueprint of how to beat Ireland. Ireland to win the champ now as the best of a shakey bunch of post World Cup teams.

IFW is some player. Genuinely gutted he's in white and not red but get his choice.
 
Borthwick made some great calls in the end
Pack in general looked the most balance it has been since 2019 imo


IFW was an inspired pickup and been just what we needed. But also highlights why didn't he picked a strong quick winger before
Maybe I am just to borthwick pilled in this moment of emotion. But I think coming in before the world cup hurt his perception, was fire fighting.

Since hte start of the six nations it has been relatively steady improvement. I wasnt excited about english rugby prior to the tournament, but there is atleast a glimour of hope that he has some idea of what he is doing.
