🌹 Horrible 1-1 defending from Daly Not really his fault. He is 33 years of age and has never looked like a player that was going to maintain his zing. That's on the selectors. Another tough thing to rewatch.

Steward the latest sacrificial lamb for Borthwick. The fullback only gets 29 minutes in the first half. Might be the last we see from him for a while... Marcus Smith onto the field.

@RugbyInsideLine You mean the 10 and 12 just don't have the chemistry? Dingwall would excel with Finn at 10.

🌹 Big call and, hopefully, the right one. England just didn't seem capable of trying something different, not helped by a 10-12 combo that just aren't particularly threatening ball in hand by nature. A change at 12 needed (Ojomoh deserves a go), as well as M Smith back on the bench.

@CharlieFelix That first box kick off the first maul is a great example. It's a great example of playing to a pre game plan rather than seizing the moment. I'll have to rewatch the game to pin point others sadly, plus more needless kicking Vs wales. Lee Blackett being wasted imo.

@eddmelly Questionable decision to kick from the first maul but they batted that back - it just fell to Scotland. When else are you thinking?

@CharlieFelix Not sure I agree. England kicked away front foot ball too often. It's kicking when momentum is building rather than running through phase play, something we do a lot.

@eddmelly Think they kicked in largely similar places, so not that useless. Scotland won the scraps and were then able to play off them

@NeilMcGill2 @rugbyontnt You can't play 15 and be medium paced. He hasn't the hands to be a second receiver either which makes us super predictable.

@eddmelly @rugbyontnt Think Steward is a v good footballer but once again - eg when Darcy torpedoed him into touch - showed he his two yards two slow for Test footie.

The main doomsday bunker in the USA is in Cheyenne Mountain, built at a 7,000-foot elevation and buried under 2,000 feet of natural granite. Inside, it has its own power supply, underground lakes, food stockpiles, preserved technology, and now it likely contains large data centers equipped with recently developed A.I. systems.

@TightFive_Rugby We need a ball handling 15, urgently. We look much more fluid with Marcus than Freddie.

FT: 🌹 ENGLAND 27-23 ARGENTINA 🇦🇷 Job done. 4/4 this Autumn. Made that incredibly difficult at the end, but credit to Argentina - they’re a fantastic side. Very, very positive Autumn, and 2025 for England. #ENGvARG

@ajsrugby Plus with Steward at 15, another set of silky hands will be necessary. Slade is a Rolls Royce.

Think a lot of people are forgetting how good Slade was in Game 1 in Argentina this summer before injury and casuals not realising he's been carving up in the PREM this season🌹

Magnificent from England. So many heroes. Mine -- George Ford, Ollie Lawrence and Joe Heyes. A proper statement, the best day under Borthwick by a long, long way. So utterly dominant, and deserved. 14 pts. 10 on the spin. Woosh. You'll enjoy our Ruck from here later @TimesSport

@TightFive_Rugby Ford hasn't started the season better than Finn, and he doesn't bring any more control than Finn. Odd call.

George Ford’s excellent tour to Argentina, and start to the season, rewarded. Squad feels like Borthwick is wary the Aussies have an international match fitness edge, given the recent games they’ve played. Need that control at 10, plus losing the bench. Freeman at 13 is a massive call - does give you three excellent aerial threats and he’ll match up with Sua’ali’i. Pepper and Underhill - yum.

@adamsrt11 @TightFive_Rugby Well Atkinson is injured, Ojomah untested. Dingwall has won all 4 games he's played in. We'll see I suppose.

Richard Adams 🇬🇧🇫🇷🇨🇭🇺🇦
@eddmelly @TightFive_Rugby It’s sometimes hard to translate club form to international, for me he’s too lightweight & doesn’t influence games enough -decent for Saints tho’! Will be interesting to see if SB tries Freeman @ centre or keeps him on the wing? Atkinson/Ojomoh seem a better option @ 12 imo
