I'm not taking anything away from Scotland The Brave who, IMHO, gave an excellent boot string display in both backs and forwards BUT - England are simply a mess. Their back five, again IMHO, are a group of individuals who play as individuals. They have little or no idea where anyone is, and as for running onto the ball and creating space they are just pants. I feel for Jonny Wilkinson who is taking a load of crap from air heads like Brian (The Wingnut) Moore and even Healey but in fact, as Healey showed on his gizmo yesterday when Maradona Flood came on, his backs are miles out of reach (that'll be both in play and mentally). I feel for the pack too who while a bit bitsy at times do provide decent ball only to see it wasted away between hoofing it back to the oppo or their individual Prima Donnas running into the oppo pack for lack of imagination and ideas or even well rehearsed set plays. Wales aren't much better either. Their packs work rate is superb but rewards are minimal. Yes their discipline might be questionable, as was ours too of course, but they lack imagination or, for us older guys, the boot string and socks game of FECK it, just play your heart out and try and try and try. When the ideas fade so does the challenge. But then, we have Paul O'Connell...........    Report
