That’s a truly dismal performance. Smith running out of excuses with front foot ball and his preferred 9, but far from the only issue.

Absolutely bummed.
Are we playing 15, because we look like we are the way we're desperately scrambling I defence.

This is an utter embarrassment for England given the circumstances.
Eddie will keep his job though, he’s nailed on until the RWC. Which is nice.

Thick captain selected due to his obedience to the coach who has lost it = thick team. I can see why Nowell is in front of Arundell.

Arundell capped and making a mockery of being tossed on with the game almost done and already lost is about the best thing to come out of this game for us.

Problem has been having Smith and Farrell on the pitch at the same time. I would let Smith play 10 and give him a proper 12 outside. Too many cooks ...I like neeps wrote: Sat Jul 02, 2022 11:57 am Yet again Marcus Smith fails to live up the hype. Farrell should play 10.
England defence has been awful coupled with complete lack of imagination in their back play. Going back to the Vunipolas is a big mistake, they are both pretty one dimensional now, they might be the big bully boys in the league but they're not good enough now at international level.

England never really got on the front foot, not to any degree of dominance, no fly half is going to shine under those circumstances.

Arundell touched the ball twice in his 5 minutes on the field, scored once and had a major hand in another.

Re: England in Australia

We don't have a proper 12. I think we should either play Smith with a 12 who's actually a 12, or play Ford and Farrell. I think the latter is preferable.dpedin wrote: Sat Jul 02, 2022 12:03 pmProblem has been having Smith and Farrell on the pitch at the same time.

England just looked clueless. At least Ludlum brought a bit of dog and Arundell a slice of magic.

The main issue is in the midfield in that we don't have one, there is zero threat, zero penetration, zero creativity. If Farrell is not playing at 10, he should not be in the team. If England are looking to play a fast wide game, Smith is the answer Farrell on the bench at best.

The win rate with him at 10 and Ford at 10 is starkly different, it's statistical confirmation of what's seemed apparent when watching him down the years - can't get us firing. Now, some of that is England generally being crap all too often, but I don't think sticking him at 10 solves any of the problems we have, so why do it?Kawazaki wrote: Sat Jul 02, 2022 12:09 pmsockwithaticket wrote: Sat Jul 02, 2022 12:06 pmSome people legitimately think Farrell should be 10Tichtheid wrote: Sat Jul 02, 2022 12:04 pm

Even when he's been doing the business there for Sarries, he hasn't for England when given the opportunity.

England need to use pace in midfield instead of heft. They can't do that with Eddie Jones as head coach because he's not a good enough coach to select and prepare a side like that.
