Yes. The sun obviously shined on Leitch.

The Scottish support is very loyal considering how bleak things have been for them since 2000. They haven’t finished higher than 3rd in the 6 nations during that period and regularly lower. Their clubs have won little or nothing too bar a Magners/Pro 12/Rabo Direct/Celtic League for Glasgow against Munster around 2015. Then the one time they have a relatively decent team they end up in a pool with ourselves and South Africa where there’s at least an 80% chance they’ll be gone before the quarter-final.

England should still be a lot better with the players they have. Borthwick is obviously a Steve Bruce type coaching talent.

The lelos are giving them plenty of it here

Scotland are going wide early every time, bit predictable

Just because Russell has the range to skip 3 men with every pass, doesn’t mean he has to.

They absolutely need to change coach now, even two weeks before their first World Cup game. Borthwick is clearly miles out of his depth and catastrophe beckons.

Just put somebody in for the World Cup and think about the future after that. You might have catastrophe anyway but fuck it, they have to act.

Jake White, Joe Schmidt, Vern Cotter, Dave Rennie, Steve Hansen, Wayne Pivac, anybody.

I actually don’t think they’d have the money to pay Borthwick out as things stand

Bond is the man for this situation, Michael Bond.

BOD’s nemesis is in the Samoan coaching ticket.

It’s been mentioned here a thousand times before but not singing the national anthem for away games is an abomination.
