@CharlieFelix @gloucesterrugby @premrugby Was about to reply with the very same thing! 😂

@gloucesterrugby @premrugby …sure that’s him?

A new face at Kingsholm ahead of this weekend's @premrugby clash 👀 Welcome, Chris 👋

@RugbyInsideLine I’m surprised Will Joseph isn’t in there. Not played much much due to injury but was scoring tries and beating defenders for fun.

Who are the most dangerous attacking threats in the PREM? 1) Caluori 💫 2) Arundell 🛁 3) Ravouvou 🐻 4) Radwan 🐯 5) Todaro 😇 6) Feyi-Waboso ❌ 7) Hassell-Collins 🐯 8) Freeman 😇 9) Reez-Zammit 🐻 10) Thorley 🍒 Here's an attacking index based on metres, defenders beaten and clean breaks per carry. What would your dream team back three be? Powered by @Oval_Insights

@bencoles_ @tomhamiltonespn What does Wigglesworth actually do? He was in charge our attack when it was rubbish and is now in charge of our awful defence. He has to go, along with El Abd whose only qualification appears to be Borthwicks old flat mate.

After one win out of five in the Six Nations, could England let an assistant coach go? With @tomhamiltonespn on The Rugby Bunker. Full episode: youtube.com/watch?v=jwYnEb… Podcast: pod.link/1837150363/epi…

@RucksSake Pitiful

I thought he had a good game. But you’d think England were 40 points up looking at Roebuck here.

@bencoles_ If he’s kicking it’s because he’s been told to. He doesn’t do that for Gloucester.

Substack is out: theofffieldreview.substack.com/p/defeat-in-ro… After ten minutes, England had 96% territory and 74% possession. And nothing to show for it. This later decision to kick by Seb Atkinson, with the options available, is up there as one of their more frustrating moments.

@darrenjaundrill @RugbyInsideLine He had a half decent win rate at home but even that has gone now. Who have we beaten away in his tenure? Wales, Argentina and Italy, that’s it. Lose next week and his 6 nations record is 50%.

@RugbyInsideLine Why does everyone go there? Really annoys me. He's still running at a 60% win rate which remains one of the highest in modern times. He can fix this and we should expect him to do so @RugbyInsideLine. End of. Not cut and run or setting loose. #ITAENG #ITAvENG #SixNationsRugby

FT; 🇮🇹 ITA 23 - 18 ENG 🌹 Has to be Borthwick's England career over. First loss to Italy. First loss to Fiji. Ever. Finito. Done. The end. Congratulations Italy. Super.

@cas_rasen It probably won’t be though

There is at least one good thing. This should be the end of Borthwick. 4 years & no progress, just a WC lucky draw. The players, the funding, the support. And that's the best he can do. Nothing will improve until he goes. Justify that Borthwick fans. #ITAvENG

@jam_rugby He should be dragged up to and drop kicked off F off you’re sacked mountain

On a scale of sacked, how sacked should Steve Borthwick be after this?

@BBCSport An apology was needed but please let’s not have another week of telling the press what we’re going to do against the Italians. We’ve had enough now, we want to see it, not hear it.

Ellis Genge with a heartfelt apology to England fans.

@CharlieFelix Busy day tomorrow trying to pick the bones out of that! So much that was poor from England it’s hard to know where to start. Ireland were excellent 1-15 though.

Ireland excellent and absolutely not flattered by the scoreline. For England, the most damning indictment is that it was reminiscent the 6N and World Cup warm-up games of 2023... which were horrible.

@VictoriaCoren @BBCTwo Was so hoping the Milton reading was going to turn out to be the greatest ever Michael Portillo joke! Never mind, another fab series!!

At last, the end is in sight! #OnlyConnect reaches its grand final tonight 🥁 🥁 🥁. Two lovely teams, the Pitchers and the 5Ks, wheel out all their brilliance in the attempt to become this year’s champions. 8pm @BBCTwo

@rugbyontnt @tntsports @discoveryplusUK Ewels is a mile offside!

Grandstand finish incoming 🍿 Finn Russell pounces to bring Bath within two points with 15 mins to play! 📺 @TNTSports & @DiscoveryplusUK

@jimhamilton4 Ewels being a mile offside is going to sting for a while. Unreal effort though and so many big performances. Bath bench is just daft.

Gloucester vs Bath. What a match. Brutal physicality. Always is! Both Atkinson’s and Lewis Ludlow unreal. That’s the level you need to be at when pulling on a Gloucester shirt.

@RugbyInsideLine And Gloucester, Kleyn is coming in but Jordan and Alemanno are both rumoured to be off.

🟢 Joel Kpoku has left Pau by mutual consent. There will be lots of clubs trying to woo the English lock now. Would be a smart pickup for a lot of sides. Expect Sale, Quins and Newcastle to all be in the hunt for the ex Saracens lock.

@RugbyGlaws @jam_rugby @gloucesterrugby Correct. I’d go as far to say it’s curtains for Skivington if we don’t.

@jam_rugby This game HAS to be won by @gloucesterrugby Anything less is unacceptable

The biggest game of the season so far. C’mon Glaws! #glawsfamily #NRBvGLO

@Rej13654 @RugbyCollective No thanks

@RugbyCollective Steve Diamond coming on board wouldn’t be the worse option for Gloucester, better than the rumours of John Plumtree

🚨🍒 GLOUCESTER RUMOURS 🍒🚨 After an annihilation in the midlands last night, some noises around Skivington’s departure have started to circulate. With 1 win in 7 games, is it time for a change? All eyes on kingsholm 👀

@andywyman @gloucesterrugby @BBCGlos 34-14

@AfrikanBreed 6 months would be lenient. Deserves 12 months minimum.

Come on Eben Etzebeth, that was just UNNECESSARILY stupid and dangerous. Control your fuckin temper. Luckily the guy didn't lose an eye there or have an eye injury. Actually wouldn't be mad with a 6 months ban because WTF was that for ? #WALvRSA #Springboks #StrongerTogether

@jaredwright17 12 months wouldn’t be undeserved.

Completely unnecessary. Brain-less from Eben Etzebeth. A long ban loading. #WALvRSA

@SamLStandsUp Can’t agree more. Why a player with a great career like his feels the need to do that in a game when they are 73-0 up. They should throw the book at him.

I think there needs to be an understanding that you're not protected just because you do something on a rugby pitch. That should be a very very very long ban and you have to think maybe more. A disgusting act by a great player.
