Answer 6

In the euphoria of winning the last World Cup, the English forgot to reflect on the fact that they were very lucky to carry off the silverware in 2003. They were not the best team in the World in 2003, they just timed themselves perfectly.

Since then, they (and the rest of their Six Nations mates) have rested on their butts while the Southern Hemisphere teams have continued to develop their game. As things stand now, England may even get knocked out at the pool stage!

Answer 7

they're trying to hold on to passed glories with players who are too old to play at the top level, as the yougnsters don't get games at club level due to all the overseas players there.

Answer 8

They have an old game plan, their players are too old, and many of them are not in perfect shape to play professional rugby. England has to refocus on the younger players and develop more talent. England have been laying on their backsides instead of getting to work building a strong team and challenge of defending their title. 36-0 in South Africa's favor reveals the strength and wisdom of developing a young team with some experience mixed in. Also they do not get the same kind of exposure at the same level as the Southern Hemisphere gets, this is why I believe the South will continue to dominate for many years to come.

Answer 9

big mouths and nothing to show for it. they just suck at the moment. the same thing for 3 years now.

Answer 10

The reason is the greed of the owners of all English rugby clubs, instead of nuturing home grown players they bring in outsiders and kick the people who would have been the next generation of players out, although both performances so far have been the worst I have seen since I started watching 40 years ago, you cannot really blame the players they are mostly the best of what we have and the people who should take the blame but wont are the club owners and the joker who is in charge the RFU I forget this morons name, but I bet he never played  top class rugby in his life he will be a banker or some other  sort of parasite.
