Question

Why did England stuff up the six nations so badly?

Answer 1

Too much reliance on one kick wonderboy Johnny. He is not as good as people think. Yes he can bore us to death with kicking but cannot run, pass properly or sidestep. He seems to side step into tackles.

Answer 2

They are just plain bad and getting worse....

Before the world cup they should use the practice time to pray instead of playing rugby - this might produce much better results.

Answer 3

Professional rugby  -made some nations race ahead and others lag behind. It took a long time for the other nations to catch up witht the sheer financial advantages (coaches, facilities, player responsibilities and structure) of english rugby.

The advantages of professionalism (that brought the world cup to England) have now gone.

The six nations (and international rugby in general) is going to be close and massively competitive for the foreseable future.

It was not a question of stuffing up - more a question of other nations shaping up.

Answer 4

i dont think england have such a great rugby squad while matching up to teams like ireland and france.

Answer 5

They didn't

Before it started, they were written off totally.

They won 3 games, that's good from the position they were in after the Autumn Internationals.

That was the best 6 nations they've had in a long time.
