Well, would you Adam and Eve it? England only went and got beat by Fiji for the first bleedin’ time in history! Talk about a shocker.
Their Rugby World Cup warm-up has been a right shambles, with this latest loss marking their fifth in six matches.
It’s been a right bumpy ride getting ready for the World Cup, but no more faffing around with dress rehearsals – Borthwick’s lot are gonna have to bring their A-game come September 9th in Marseille.
And speaking of shaking things up, we reckon it’s about time to give the ol’ heave-ho to a few players who’ve been more off than a dodgy pint.
Here’s the lowdown on five fellas who should be shown the door and swapped out before that showdown with Argentina.
#1. Dan Cole
Planet Rugby 2/10: “Can’t get around the field effectively enough. Set-piece is pretty strong but often exposed in the loose.”
Rugby Pass 3/10: “A first start since September 2019, the question must be asked is can England afford to have him involved when he is allergic to the ball? Just a single carry in 69 minutes.”
Evening Standard 3/10: “One of England’s finest servants, but at 36 England should have moved on by now.”
Replacement: Kyle Sinckler
