England 2025/26

[Rugbyfan564]

Im curious to see where SB is going with the ten spot.

Fin needs to be nailing down that spot really and we then need the back ups with enough caps to be comfortable if they are called upon.

But Ford isnt going away just yet and what to do with a Marcus.

Ford is the starter unless he is injured for the next two years.

Ford is the starter unless he is injured for the next two years.

That was the line re Fin 10 months ago, and the line re Marcus 6 months before that

Utterly ridiculous. Except for exceptional circumstances, I would expect a coach in a national setup to go to the world cup.

Steve Borthwicks tenure.

At least we still have old dependable Wiggy in [insert role here]. This is such a joke, are we not getting any of these people in on multi year contracts!? England is supposed to be one of the best gigs in the world.

Any job is only as good as your boss an environment.

Is it SB or the over arching RFU?

So he came from D2 and is potentially going back there. No shame if that’s his level but, as virtually everyone said, his CV looked pretty thin for the national team in the first place - that’s on SB. From the outside it looked like he over promoted a mate which isn’t a good look.

We’ve got a good group of players who could go far. But just how far will depend on the calibre and continuity of the coaching set up.

It used to be that when Mike Ford joined a coaching crew, the top man had to look out for any knives appearing in his back.
Now it seems to be that any new addition to the coaching crew, that doesn't include Wigglesworth moving on; and it's the new guy who needs to keep an eye out for knives.

I hope Lee Blackett has his well protected.

Answers all the questions as to why Sam Vesty probably thinks **** that gig.
