England rugby team?

Question

who else thought they were lame

Answer 1

How many zimmer frames where on the touch line??????????

To many oldies they rely on in the team I am afraid!

NOT being biased by the way!"

Answer 2

Well if they want to go any further, they are gonna have to wake up " no mistake"

Answer 3

pretty much everyone who saw them play.

Answer 4

Very. Barclay had a good game, lots of breaks and some decent kicks. Apart from that and a little flair from Sheridan, Catt and Farrell at the end they certainley will have to look at the whole game plan.

Answer 5

So, that was a rugby team this afternoon?

I've seen seven year olds play better than that mob.

I'm just glad I saw it on TV and did not waste good money going to see it.

Answer 6

Lame is normal for this english team.

I thought they were inept.

That is taking nothing from america btw...they looked really organised...knew what they had to do, and stopped england playing - well done USA.

Answer 7

Probably everyone who watched the game. We really need to pull our socks up for the next game against the Springboks.

We certainly did not look like reigning champions today.

Answer 8

for last times world cup winners it was a pathetic game againts the US.

Answer 9

Most who watched them play.......half of the England team should be on old age pensions,they need some young guys with skills in there.

Answer 10

Agree.  Nothing worked for the champions.   Thinking about whether to find out some long lost Argentinian ancestor or not.  Vickery may get cited and iff honest deserves to be, but this (i reckon) will be the big turn around in The Champions tournament.  Who would ya pick iff it was up to you to lead the champs into battle against SA?  Me personally I would give Dallaglio the captaincy.  This guy will at least put his money where his mouth is and fire up a team that for now is looking pretty vacant.

Answer 11

Easy to criticise, but we're not in the team.  

I do agree the display today does not have 'World Champions' stamped on it and I worry the other nations look at us as easy pickings to take the Cup off of.

That being said I will reserve judgement until the SA game.  We need our players to stand up and hold onto the World Cup and put out a team which can rise to the occassion.

I'm not overly confident, agreed, but I'm optimistic!!

Answer 12

they need alot of work, they do not seem to have developed their team as much as they should have, the influx of foreign players is effecting the development of home grown players it seems to be following the england football team!

Answer 13

In a nutshell England were hopeless ..

We are looking at England V the USA here .. Hardly a top International side , and England scratched and fumbled their way through this match .. Apart from Barkley the rest were labouring through what could only be described as " The Motions"   Samoa will be l*****g their lips and South Africa will be looking to run over the top of them ..

The much vaunted English forwards were pedestrian and looked old , slow and unmotivated  .. The backs had no idea of how to create any sustained attack and looked limited for options ..

England will need to improve in leaps and bounds unless they want to be tipped out after the pool play .

USA played well considering that they have few real genuine world class players in that side ..

England have slipped down the ladder as a world rugby power .
