HMMM ..
© telegraph So, yesterday’s enthusiasm turns to some distress.
Italy, although they played bravely, lost to Australia (25-18). France had a thorough arse-whooping from New Zealand (47-3). England, well same score as the Italians without playing half as well. Without wishing to detract from Argentina’s victory, they were pretty mediocre too and made basic errors as well. But they at least played with passion and envy and hunger. We, on the other hand, were slow, inconsistent and have lost our clinical finishing. There were (very short-lived) flashes of inspiration but on the whole we look lost and without conviction as if we’ve had our stuffing knocked out of us. It’s going to take something special to turn us around before the VI Nations and the World Cup.
Still, at least Stade won their match against Agen (31-8). What’s that? You think I’m taking this rugby thing too seriously ;p
