Just don’t think England have the cattle. Dan Cole in 2024. Henry Slade in 2024. Not got the dudes.
You can carry those guys and ask them to do a job so long as the coaching is good and the other 13 players on the pitch engage their brains.
They are! They're trying to figure out what to do to get some shape because their coaching is terrible.

Very good players trying to do it on their own outside the gameplan
Yep, individually they are fine, as a team poor..
England should have won this
Based on what?
Actually watching the game.

Itoje cost them 2 tries
Woulda coulda shoulda
2 neck rolls which nullified two try scoring opportunities
Not to mention two incredibly soft Bok tries

If that's them engaging their brains, it doesn't say much about the English "public" school system.

Maybe shuffle Borthwick into a selector position, he's got that almost spot on. Then get some coaches, fuck any coaches. They can't be worse.

He'll get rated 8 in the English press

SA played poorly. Not accurate and discipline let them down. England in with a real chance there

England looked like they always tried to find new ways of fucking it up
TBF, they exceeded all expectations.
