He was pretty good for Wasps for the most part, any time him and Smith went head to head Smith came out well on top, if Smith isn’t what the coaches are after then there is no hope for Jacob.

Never looked great at 10, however I think he was a bit blindsided by the difference in physicality of the prem, he was also supposedly the savour and would basically play in a similar way to Cips who was on his way out.

This is peak comedy and proof that name brand is all that matters in these pieces. Gus warr is outplaying quirke, Gus Warr fits the way steve wants to play, Lets pick Quirke anyway because he was in a squad a while back and has been hyped.
Slight heart attack as I thought he was saying he was retiring initially, but what a photo

Place your bets on youngs to have one if his good games to finish.
He'll have both, stink up the place 1st half and then suddenly look like he know what he is doing in the second half.
In tribute to coming off the bench for Danny Care or the other way around.

Could switch to 10 to field Youngs' passes.

Bit of a boy who cried wolf situation, with two retirements in the bank already, but I believe it this time

Also one of Borthwick's aims was to reconnect with fans and rebuild support for England. It's obvious where I stand, but do you think the majority of fans will have been won over by England's world cup performance?

Rugby World Cup 2023: England end tournament with hope renewed
Thirty-three England players go their separate ways after being united by a cause. How many will return when Steve Borthwick picks his next squad?

George also implying he isn't either as he says Theo Dan will keep him on his toes for the next couple of years, but that could just be at Saracens.
Jamie George is only 33 tbf, even if making the next world cup would be a stretch that's still young to retire, he's got another couple of years in him easy
I'd say the same about Marler if he hadn't openly spoken about retirement multiple times in the past

With around 60% of our backline ending up out of position yesterday, another player won’t hurt surely

Steward has said yesterday was farewell to three legends. Youngs, May and Lawes?

It is important that there is a gradual shifting of the guard, so some need to stay for next couple of years.Rugby World Cup 2023: England end tournament with hope renewed

Interesting to hear Sean Fitzpatrick say it takes a cycle to build a world Cup winning team.....but NZ have potential done it in 12 months.
Yet seemingly England fans Expect Borthwick to do it in 4 months

George Martin to be the key for England for some time
Watching SA smash NZ and what he did to their big guys.
Also clear that his power in the scrum is really needed
