[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 1159244, member: 12190"] I don't know if I entirely agree about the lack of intensity. In some areas of the game perhaps. I mean it's true that with our ruck speed, players knowing what they're doing when we have the ball etc - comparing us to Ireland, we look like we're having a family Sunday at the beach. To an extent, twas ever thus with England. Our intensity without the ball is better, but then that's arguably more straightforward, if draining. Regardless I feel uncomfortable with how often Borthwick references being written off.. It doesn't suggest the right mindset at all. As much as we've been very lucky with the draw, it has also prepared us extremely badly for a game against South Africa... To be in the final 4 without having played any of the top 6 sides is not good (admittedly on this, not sure exactly where Argentina were ranked before the World Cup, but they're clearly not at their best at the moment. Also.... Two more games now for England either way.... [/QUOTE]
