[QUOTE="spartan32, post: 1214790, member: 72322"] Scotland aren’t bad at all my friend, and that’s the point. They deserved to win. They played expansive rugby, always looked dangerous with ball in hand and had England on the ropes pretty much the entire match. They looked well drilled and moved with purpose. Were it not for Russell have a really bad day at the office, they would have soundly beaten England. I think I speak for many England fans when I say that this win left me feeling really deflated. It represented yet another step back in englands performance, and the problem can only be Borthwick, because the players on the field can certainly play a hell of a lot better than that. Will Greenwood summed it up really well after the game. Many of the England players look unrecognisable from their prem performances. Playing completely counter to their style, locked into a pre planned tactical approach which clearly wasn’t working, but unable or unwilling to shift gear no doubt fearing falling from favour an ending up on the ever growing England scrap heap. Things need to change and they need to change fast. Itoje is a big presence in England and has been given the captaincy. Now he needs to show some real leadership and have a word with his coach to save his team. I can’t believe any of them are happy with the situation. They are being made to look like fools.
