So essentially a vote of confidence in the 23 who achieved England’s first defeat to Italy!!

Looking at it, another evening of box kicking for us to enjoy with wingers who maybe tall and supposedly good in the air, but on grass I suspect will be exposed against the French back 3. A bit more heft in the pack with Chessum at 6 but I just can’t get on board with either selection or more pertinently the style of rugby.

If we have to suffer a 30-40 point drubbing to elicit a change of head coach, then I’m quite happy to sit through it. That said I’ve no faith that Bill Sweeney has the first idea what’s wrong sadly

If we take a beatig again I think the pressure will shift to Sweeney because he's gone all in on backing Borthwick and that's already had a lot of people question him.

One change is a joke, can see 30+ point win for France , just keep kicking it to them to run at us.

I was hoping the public backing was just PR during the tournament and they'll give him the heave ho once the dust has settled.
