Who had “Marler heads the ball and confuses the defence into letting England score” in the sweepstake?

Of course the only way we can build a score is inadvertently.

Why on Earth are Japan still trying to bugger about in their own half? They just need to belt the ball down the other end and wait for England to fuck up.

How can England be so lucky when playing this poorly? It looked knocked on...

If they had any dignity they'd give those 7 points back.

Ford's drop kicks, Marler's headers, how many lives does Borthwick have.

England looking.... passable.... when they finally try to stick some phases of rugby together. Then ruin it by trying ridiculous offloads out of the tackle instead of being patient and clinical.

Then a lot of dropping off tackles and gaps in the line when Japan inject some pace into proceedings.

Nearly a game of rugby breaking out.

I've resigned myself to the fact that whatever else Eng are or are not, they are clearly masters of getting their opponents to play exactly the opposite game plan that should be deployed.

No wonder we fucking kick the ball all the time. We can't hold the bloody thing for more than a couple of phases.

Oh fuck. We're Gatland's Wales*, dragging teams down to our level for an unedifying arm wrestle. :eek:

Old past it:Youngs, Care, Tuilagi, May, Daly,

Gone shit: genge, sinckler, billy vunipola, itoje (bit harsh but not the world beater he seemed at one point destined to be).
