Yes it's possible we come second in the group and lose to Australia. I would seriously question Borthwick then, people on this forum already have said he was the wrong call.It's about high expectations, high standards, winning and professional sports. Lancaster and EJ were sacked for not meeting those. It was exactly why people wanted them to go. It wasn't arrongance or entitlement. People expected higher standards, decent performances and to win, or is that arrogant expecting that. Do we except 7th or 8th in the world 3rd or 4th in the six nations because we don't expect better or dare upset people who think we are arrogant. My expectations are low like many, but i won't ever think it's good enough if we lose in the quaters or worry about being called arrogant for saying this is a game we should win or set high standards. It's professional rugby with a team / union that is meant to be up there as the best. It's not about clapping and saying good game chaps, it's the taking part that counts.
