@jpstafford Maybe we should make the whole team VC. Because that makes them leaders… 🤯

I reckon England need more leadership in the front five. #FRAvENG

I think the reason @Scotlandteam were so awesome at the weekend was because the French were wearing white. The Scots thought they were @EnglandRugby 😄 #GuinnessM6N

@PlanetRugby @alexspinksport Remember the ‘Plyaers revolt’ in the 2007 RWC when they players spoke up and said ‘it’s not working we need to change it’. Where is that player leadership now? It’s clear to see that none of them agree with the game plan theguardian.com/sport/2023/aug…

🗣️ "Saturday has the potential to get very messy indeed." 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Comment: Steve Borthwick’s ambitions for Paris have shrunk from hitting the jackpot to simply keeping his job. #GuinnessM6N ✍️ @alexspinksport planetrugby.com/news/comment-s…

@willgkelleher @TimesSport Which makes it very clear that Sweeney’s expert opinion as the head of the RFU is that Borthwick will fix it. So… If he doesn’t fix it by the end of The Nations champs, then Sweeney will have proven that he doesn’t have the expertise to lead the organisation.

Breaking: The RFU back Steve Borthwick to coach England through to the Nations Championship in July. Bill Sweeney: "We remain fully committed to supporting them and the players as they face France this weekend and then look ahead to the Nations Championship." @TimesSport

@jacobieuan Yes. But Steve’s spreadsheet said very clearly that you win the highest percentage of games when you sub your SH at 57mins. And we must follow the spreadsheet.

Player of the man contender and best game manager England have and they took him off at 57 minutes. This needs to be the end of this era #ITAvENG

Why do we call it a ‘good surface’ when it’s only set up for batsmen to smash the ball everywhere. Surely a ‘good surface’ would offer something for batsmen and bowlers #INDvNZ

@Rawdogg15 My worry was that he didn’t change the plan. He just changed the people but kept the same plan and then blamed discipline on why his only plan didn’t work (again) What’s a definition of stupidity? Doing the same thing over and over again even though it isn’t working…

Moving on, I’ll be fascinated to see England’s selection vs France next week. They started with a plan, tore up the plan and the other plan didn’t work either. Honestly, I’d chuck the kids and the wider squad out for experience at this point.

What an amazing tournament. Week one: Sack Townsend England are already booking tickets for the Slam decider against France Week four Scotland can win the whole thing Sack Borthwick Madness. But brilliant. #GuinnessM6N

@James_M_T Yes! 45 attacking kick and chases per hour!

Do we train attack? #ITAvENG

Should also add - for all my moaning about England - well done Italy! #ITAvENG

At least we’ll get to see the ambition of @EnglandRugby after this. If they continue with the current set up then we know their ambition is simply to be average. #ITAvENG

The really poor thing - I think this is the worst that Italy have played in the tournament so far… #ITAvENG

@JeffGJeff No. The spreadsheet says that we have not reached the exact minute for each substitution yet

Bring the bloody bench on #ITAvENG

@FrontRowRugbyXV 100%. He manages to talk about complex game things in a very simple way (so idiots like me can understand)

Also Dan Biggar is the best TV rugby pundit in the world.

@willcarling @bencoles_ I think it is the benchmark when it’s the only role our tactics give them…

@bencoles_ Listen to you ! Is that the bench mark for England wingers then ??!!

Cadan Murley has won back three high kicks, which feels like a big improvement. #ITAvENG

A pen 5m from the line and we kick. We are just so scared of being positive… #ITAvENG

Love Tom Roebuck. Beast!! #ITAvENG

I’ve put a one minute timer on my phone. Every minute it beeps and England kick the ball in the air. Metronomic. #ITAvENG

@bencoles_ I’m not sure these two teams are even playing the same sport as Scotland and France…

Back-to-back 90-pointers? Nah come on #ITAvENG

Imagine trying to explain to someone who doesn’t know rugby that this is the same sport as the Scotland France game… #ITAvENG
