Why is a nation of midgets kicking the ball into the Kuiper Belt repeatedly?

Japan have totally let England off the hook here.

Not happy with the Japanese fans taking the piss out of our eyes

“Don’t bloody kick it” shouts everyone as Ford kicks us into a position where we steal a lineout and score a try

Fucking hell. My son demands milk, I pause Sky, get it, sit back down on the fucking Sky controller, it changes channel and so I can't run the fucking match back to see what happened.

Fuck's sake. Fucking kids.

One upped with being forced to watch Transformers: The Last Knight. Several very good actors clearly doing it for the money.

Same as when Borthwick was captain, focus on kicking, grinding it out and hoping opposition cock up. No expansive, running with the ball trying to create something. Boring.

I didn't think we were suddenly good last week, but I was hopeful that we weren't still fucking awful.

Sat here with a sea view, my, as of yesterday, wife, going through some of the left over red wine and cheese and this is still an absolutely horrific watch

Take your pick on individual players, but my take is that when you look shambolic in every facet, permanently confused, lacking clarity and direction, unable to do the very basics, and every single player looks shit..... then it's squarely on the coaching team.

Japan are doing brilliantly, defending Well, their scrum looks great, their attack looks feisty. They have plenty of energy (it is not like they are up against Fiji who will run them off the park).

Englands gameplan of kick and chase is just sad.



A sad day for Rugby this.

Brothers and chums appear to have bought into the Eddie narrative that our players are mentally subnormal and can't do basic things like pass the ball more than once before contact, to the point that is a self fulfilling prophesy and we can only do one out rugby and kicking the sodding ball.
