I appreciate some of the positive 'it could come together' sentiment above about England but i'm not sure what its based on at the moment, at the end of the 6N we looked like we were gradually beginning to find a style in attack and defence, but the defence, in the absence of Jones now looks shambolic, half of them drifting, half of them blitzing, scramble is almost non existent as a result.
In attack, we look confused most of the time, Smith is playing well but we're rarely getting quick enough ball to play from and we look disjointed outside Smith.
Our forwards aren't good enough, particularly the front row, which means we're struggling at set piece to secure our own ball or attack the oppositions.
On top of the crap being served up on the pitch, our coaching set up is in total disarray and i'd love to know why, it looked like Borthwick was building a strong team but the best coaches have left very quickly which speaks to the environment and the quality of the head coach IMO. I was at the game last week, and am going again on Saturday, i repeat my earlier assertion, its going to be painful.
