Wheels completely coming off the chariot tonight ...
Down 16-9 against a fired up French side, zero chance of them getting the full house of points unless something drastic changes. Still 30 to go though, so fat lady hasn't sung .... but she's having her pre concert snack.
England don't look any better than they did against the Jocks ... which is what happens when you don't make fuck all changes!
Swing high, sweet fullback

Iād just like to say
Woo hoo.
3 6N championships in 5 years. We might actually be getting somewhere.

What chance of an Irish grand slam next week at Twickers?
Will be getting up for that for sure. Disclaimer - significant Irish Heritage.

... and Eddie is true to form starting to have the wheels come off a coupel of years in. I think he's an abrasive micro manager, which works in the short term, but becomes massively irritating in the medium term. Just about every team he has coached have wound up parting ways, usually quite vigorously. World cup suddenly looks very close, and also a long way away

I expect these losses are down to the focus on a game in November rather than taking it one game at a time.

Is that the game between the 1st and 2nd* ranked teams in the world on 11 November?
(*Disclaimer this may only last for 6 days but intend toextract the max from it.)

Ha, didn't realise the slip down had happened but I guess losing to Scotland and France eats a chunk of points.

I don't really think that plays into it. If they were trying different things or players I could believe that was the case but this is simply a team that has a stale style and a lack of on field vision.
I'm not writing them off though, they are still good enough to beat good teams but they aren't the scary juggernaut they were being made out to be.
