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..... t
hen it's squarely on the coaching team.
100% the right answer

Japan have accepted the challenge and have come up with a worse kicking game than England's.
This pool is sooooooooo bad that no team in it would have got out of any of the other pools, including C.

Didn't Austin Healey do that overhead kick once against a Fre team of some persuasion.... and it resulted in a try?

Ben Kay for once spot on - no one has the first fucking clue what line they're supposed to run and when. Virtually every time we shift it to Ford when everyone else is already ahead of him.
The only thing you can do is laugh, woeful.

This does explain why we kick it so much.
One particularly highlight was Ford running one way and the entire midfield the other.

Vaguely remember Matt Dawson doing one and it resulting in a try.

As it's on a Sunday evening, this will be the first England match I will have watched without a beer for many a year.
So this turned out to be a filthy lie.
Can't blame you. I've been tee-total since I was actually legally able to drink, but this is one of those days where I wish maybe I hadn't made that decision.

We're all hanging on to the hope of Japan scoring from a Steward knock on with 5 seconds on the clock to secure a 14-13 win.
