[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1215136, member: 59968"] Look, I agree that there's been no consistent progress since 2023 but there is literally no way he will be sacked if he delivers 4 wins from 5. Particularly given that is the goal that was reportedly set for him. The manner of those wins won't make any difference if he meets his objective. The RFU backed him after a series of losses are hardly going to turn around and give him the heave ho after a series of wins. I don’t even think 3 wins would put him in the last chance saloon. The playing style against Scotland was pretty grim but generally we haven't played that kick dominated gameplan since the 2023 RWC. We've played some attractive rugby at times and often score a decent amount of tries. The issue in the last while has been a comically porous defence. I think O'Driscoll hit the nail on the head when he said England don't have a definitive style/identity. He's right and IMO, that's the most damning element. 3yrs in and he doesn't look like he's put any kind of stamp on the side. [/QUOTE]
