It’s generous to give England a QF place but it’s not beyond the bounds of possibility given the imbalance of the draw to see England get to the SF.The rest of the assessment is spot on, although generous to give England a QF spot! They are very poor. Why do you think Ireland will bottle it? Just because they usually do? This lot seem incredibly complete
As for yesterday despite Englands brave and committed performance it won’t mask the fact that English rugby is in a bad place. The Jones era has left the set up with a weaker future. He tried over 200 players in trials and most have come and gone. The RFU is a bumbling hopeless amateur organisation and the loss of Wasps and Worcester was a disaster. The RFU needs a complete overhaul with a mixed professional set up as we have in other countries.
