[QUOTE="spartan32, post: 1214803, member: 72322"] So Ive now watched highlights from the U20s and England A, and both those teams look like they could beat the current England side. They certainly played a brand of rugby that we all want to see. Now I know that at proper big boys level things are different, but they ain’t that different. Maybe we should get the coaching staff from those squads and swap them with SBs lot. Wouldn’t that be an interesting experiment? I do wonder whether JVP has earned a call up after his performance, but then again I’m not sure it’ll make a difference if SB is simply going to squash any talent out of the lad. Anyway I’ve run out of road with all this now. England need to perform better. End of. If we have any chance of taking this tournament home we need to BP both the final games and more than that, score a lot of tries, because even if Ireland lose to France and fail to get a BP, they will smash Italy to death on the final weekend and so it’s going to come down to PD. So that’s a good goal for England I think. Both Wales and Italy have improved through the tournament and it would be unfair on them both to suggest that England will score agains them at will. We will need a solid game plan and some silky skills (like the French). So enough of this box kicking BS, we need tries, and lots of em. So it’s time to through caution to the wind, play heads up rugger, run it from the 22, snipe round the edges and go for the big win. Do that, and maybe fans will start to come back on board. Don’t, and I think we will all start searching our family trees for our new National teams. [/QUOTE]
