We don't have anything like Billy even with Billy in the squad. His USP was being so big and difficult to stop it would condense the defence around him when he carried. Now there are multiple players who are stronger carriers than him and offer more on top. If he isn't making metres in traffic then he has no worth to the side.
Which has nothing to do with his ability to play rugby.
Billy played very well in the prem...before his injury. SB was short on time so has taken a risk on him (and a few others) to see if he can bring that to this level again.
But quite a lot to do with me not wanting him around much
Brilliant victory? England are dog ****. What world class players do you have? Literally, NONE of the eng players would get into Boks/NZ/France or Ire - Ford is a p***y,a few drop goals and the Eng think he's world class all of a sudden.SB has as much character as a slug,the players play for themselves and have zero strength of character.the fact that people are wondering whether Japan will beat you,says it all!England are boring,flat,weak willed and lazy
- Me, 2019 after the underperforming team I support had a strong start to the competition.
Imagine being the kind of loser who joins a rugby board just to troll.
Don't join to troll, at all - just annoys me when I see delusional thinking and typical England supporter ignorance of the game. I would bet you've not played a single game of rugby yourself. It doesn't really matter, it's a case of opinion and everything's relative to what is said. England put millions into Rugby infrastructure every year, in order to home grow talent, the result of that in the last few years has been a disgrace. Look at Scotland, population of 5m / England circa 60m and they ran loops round you. 3 defeats to the Scots in last 3 games, two of which were at your home ground! England rugby is a shambles, and you lot play with no character. Like Ford, England supporters now believing he's magic. He's not world class. Just a good club player. He's a p***y in defence and crumbles against top tier opponents. Get real man, you lot are crap. And it's a joke, considering the amount of money put into the sport in England. Accept it and move on.
Yeah but look how well England's millions in infrastructure have helped Scotland out though, it's produced most of their RWC squad
That's a bloody cop out - and a weak argument. Look how well England's millions has helped Scotland?? It's Scotland that are taking the helm on Scottish Rugby! Not the English - it's a zero sum point. Haha are you starting to get to "if it wasn't for England Scotland would not exist…" hahahahah don't lower yourself mate. It's pathetic. England are s**t, Scotland batter them, in character / style and form - and this World Cup, watching England is as entertaining as watching paint dry
Hahaha - now there's a bloke with a sense of humour!! England SHOULD wipe the floor with them. Just don't think they're there - fish starts to rot from the head. It's the management and the board that are all over the place.Depends on the paint, surely?
I think England will win, but it's not going to be quite as easy as people might think. Japan have gone backwards but so have England quite badly, but have shown to rise to the occasion at times.
I guess they did invest heavily in scouting out products of other nations that they could poach tbf
