More concerning is the video of Genge (on top of and apparently
elbowing Sexton repeatedly), who appears to have been let off as
he escapes citing. Doesn't look good from the angle that the
video is shot.

Wouldn't have been a red card offence, I don't think. He rubs a
forearm in his face rather than strikes with the elbow.
Tis always nice that the Celts are so eagle eyed and keen to
find any transgression to put on Twitter after the game.

I imagine this will be jsut the tournament review which they
will have after every 6N and autumn camapign. typical media hype
around england losing a few games. England had a dip in form
like this in 2018 and came back strong in Autumn, I back them to
do the same. if not, then maybe look as bringing someone else
it.

Eddie won’t go as there is no replacement. Baxter does not want
it and McCall will want to get Sarries back up and playing. I
can’t see overseas coaches wanting it with Covid floating around

It's very well paid but I also reckon it's a pretty awful job at
times. You've got a great player pool in terms of numbers but
your players play in a competitive league and you enjoy only
modest control over them vs. your competitors in the Celtic
nations and NZ. Expectations are justifiably high, with a 6
nations win frequently expected as well as a usually being
expected to get Semi finals in the World Cup. You're most
people's cup final, particularly in the 6 nations but also for
most of the other nations. On top of that you've also got 57 of
Will Carling's favourite people to deal with.
That said - Eddie has managed to back himself into an odd corner
on so many issues with his inflexibility. Much of this he
brought on himself, some of it not.

I agree with most of that but the "57" is an anachronism
regarding the England team; they have nothing to do with that
side of things.

England are at the end of an era and need to make sweeping
changes, says former wing Ugo Monye.

The clock is ticking -
HTML https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/56503278
- "The review
into England's poor Six Nations has been moved forward from May
to April, and will involve a panel of rugby experts both inside
and outside the RFU."
IMHO it depends on who is available/wants the job now; either
Eddie remains in post until after 2023 (not to be renewed) or a
successor is in place by September to allow them to start with a
blank(ish) sheet for the autumn internationals. The shadow
summer tour to America, if it happens, is probably too soon for
any new appointee. In some ways a successor would need to be
lined up and agreed, at least in principle, before the report is
issued to avoid the double whammy of a firing and then preferred
choice turning down the job.

Plus the cash-strapped RFU would need to have the funds to pay
off Eddie.
