D'you reckon fella?
After 20 years across Rugby development programmes in Wiltshire
and Somerset I'm guessing (just guessing) my coal face
experience might count for something. D'you you offer a
different experience? I'm always happy to be proven wrong. Such
is the process of a debate and not purile snipes. Tell me of
what you've experienced please, I'm keen to learn more M F LA

Ah, the standard reply. Sounds more to me like somebody who
actually knows what is going on at grassroots level. But sure,
no doubt gb news does a lot of reporting on the conspiracies
which have taken root in regional rugby union youth leagues

Though I'm looking forward to spending a couple of weeks in Nice
for the RWC - with the way England are performing at the moment
I'm glad I've got tickets for Scotland - Tonga and Italy -
Uruguay!
As at least I can enjoy the games without suffering watching
England live.
I thought seeing the SA 36 England 0, at the last World cup in
France was bad enough, but really not confident we'll even make
it out of the group as both Argentina and Japan must fancy their
chances against us at the moment.
Guess I still have to hope for a miracle to occur and Englad to
start playing as a team!

Did anyone watch France v Fiji?
If you didn't and you have Prime, go and watch the replay.
That's how you play rugby!

It would be unkind to run a sweepstake.
Can I have Ben Earles after 45 minutes?

If I'm not mistaken, the last time the RWC was in France in
2007, there was a limited revolution within camp and the players
decided to run the game their way, not the coaches - a run that
ended in the final against the S. Africans.
England have been poor since playing the game of their lives v
NZ at last rugby World Cup, before being told that the RFU would
delay announcing the results of their investigation into the
Saracens Salary Cap transgressions a week or so before the final
lest it disrupt preparations for the final (who knows whether it
affected the players in the final). They have had a few good
results since, drawing with NZ and beating the Boks, both at the
end of their seasons and tours in Autumn Internationals at HQ,
but not many.
But generally since then, the Sarries (and others to be fair)
players have been underperforming in England shirt and the team
is wondering and wandering like Wordsworth's lost cloud. Itoje
and George probably deserve their places, but the rest don't. It
didn't get any better when they were then booted out of the
Premiership but still managed to represent England - time should
have been used to try new players/combinations, but the
opportunity was lost.

I think it is telling that Ireland want to "put out a better
display" against Ireland, as they felt they did not do
themselves justice against England. See
HTML https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/66568760
I might expect those sorts of comments, had they scored five
tries against Italy or Romania, but I expect any victory over
England to be celebrated.
