Why is Farrell protected from any criticism?

Taking Wilson off (unless he’s injured) just looks bizarre - case for subbing either Billy or Curry who’ve both had poor matches tbh but Wilson was carrying that back row imo

So, Robson's kick was poor (which it was) but Farrell gets excused for his

The whole team has no idea what to do, pitiful.

There's the problem with Curry carrying with Lawes as the other flanker.

Ford on... For Lawrence - who's probably been our best back - (only "probably", because Watson's not had any work to do, so I guess he's still on 50% by virtue of putting is shirt on the right way round).

Can everyone stop saying that Robson is in any way an international scrum half. Jesus Christ his passing is fucking awful today!

I take it you mean lost at Twickenham? Which sounds like an apt title for Jones’ England coaching epitaph btw :)

Yep as usual Ford is expected to create a winning try with a two playmaker midfield we know doesn't work.

Eddie's giving off a George Lucas vibe. Successful at times, but future efforts reveal that he had no idea what worked in the first place.

To be fair, that dink through for Watson to "chase" was A] the first thing Watson has been asked to do in front of his own try line, and B] the second best kick from either side

Neither has Lawrence, tbh. No back can possibly get anything out of this game. Youngs was meh, Farrell has been appalling, no one else has had any fucking ball!

I don't think I can take this. We've left Ford on the bench until the 70th fucking minute. Jones should be sacked after this
