Burgess and Cipriani to start, or else England are down the toilet.
Well Jonesy they played Bugess and they ended up further down the toilet

Lancaster needed to make SF I felt pretty 6N to keep his job he's going to lucky to make it out of the group stages. Needs Fiji to beat Wales or beat Aus now.
Overall though he made controversial decision leading up to this game and by putting his cards on the table like that he deserves to be resound criticised for that. If he'd lost with simple decision to select Slade for Joseph he wouldn't be quite under the fire he I now.

Sorry if it sounds rude, but this delusion is often seen in English sport, more expected when the quality just isn't there IMO.
Totally agree, but with the money being thrown around in the sport you can't blame people expecting more from the national team. Australia are looking very strong and if they don't get their act together then were out. I do expect a lot of sole searching in the coming week and England will be at the party next week. Its a funny old game and I would not be suprised at all if England win next week

England were winning when Burgess was dragged. The guy was taking two defenders at a time.
They sub him and bring on a guy who weighs as much as his lower torso.
George North was moved to centre next to Jamie Roberts and Gatland took full advantage that Burgess wasn't there anymore to stop them. Farrell's a good tackler but he's not a monster like Burgess and he's not gonna stop Roberts or North easily on his own.
George isn't going to stop anyone.
The advantage of having Cips to come on at centre is that he can turn defence into attack like lightning fast... and he's in form.
Hey I'm a big fan of Cipriani too but he simply doesn't play centre.
Yes I would have had him in the squad but not that clear cut.

I agree except for the scrummaging Marler should of seen yellow and been pinged for what he was doing. I'm still not sure how he got away with that angle.Playing two big bash it up centres is usually a recipe for a turgid performance. And if you want to win like that you need to take your kicks..... The more I think about the game the more I think that England did everything in their power to lose that match. Wales did just enough to win and England did more than enough to lose. They should have been out of sight, they should have had Wales down to 14 men at least from scrum penalties. Such a crazy game, that's why we watch rugby I suppose.

Cips a good 10 but Ford better now... Cips to 12 not good as he is weak defensively. Love Cips but he is not the answer to his problem.
If agree with you 4 years ago but with 2 JWC wins and 2 runners up in the last 4 years I believe things are changing . We need a kiwi coach to make sure these young guys get an opportunity .
But that makes no sense to me. Those teams that won the JWRC didn't have a New Zealand coach. Why not promote the coach who was in charge of the Junior team. He has a good relationship with most of the players already, the players know the brand the coach wants to play, and it produces winning rugby.
