[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1218462, member: 72977"] So I read the team. I went away, had dinner, played with my daughter and then washed up to make sure I'd calmed down when I wrote this. What the actual **** Borthwick, you absolutely useless ******* plonker. Smith at 15, then dropped, then back to 15. Daly who is best at centre on the wing which has long been his worst position. Cowan-Dickie back for now real reason other than to give George his 100 cap as a starter. Even then I don't think LCD has been that great either. Willis dropped when he's finally giving us some power up front and putting Earl back who has struggled most of the tournament in attack at 8. T Curry being flogged like a dead horse when Ben would do just as good a job. No lock cover at all is just baffling 3 10s, even if by chance Ford is retiring is just ridiculous. Our top try scorers being benched or dropped... Pollock being included? Just why? Yes he's got a great future, but it's not now. 6:2 with zero cover in the backs other than 9&10. That means 11-15 has no cover. How is this team meant to build any sort of consistency or fluency playing with each other when every week Borthwick is changing the side. And it's not just small tweaks, these a wholesale changes. Seriously he hasn't got a clue. England are no where near to being in the position to be handing out caps to retiring players (if that's the case). Honestly it feels like 1 step forward, two steps back under Borthwick. [/QUOTE]
