Your current thoughts on the England rugby union team at the moment ?

In my opinion, England are up there with Wales and/or France in rugby, we're as good as/strong as Wales and/or France, the problem is Eddie Jones staying loyal to Farrell and Itoje constantly and not picking the best players, however, being honest, England, Wales and/or France are nowhere near as good as/strong as New Zealand, Argentina, Australia and/or South Africa, South Africa are World Champions and from what I saw of the Rugby Championship last year, New Zealand, Argentina and/or Australia all look way better/stronger than Wales, England and/or France.

Also Farrell and Itoje are finished, they're both past it, Farrell has always been overrated in my opinion anyway, time and again they underperform or their indiscipline costs us, time for Eddie Jones to leave and Farrell and Itoje to be dropped I say, there's not even any intent to play ball in hand running rugby (you could literally see it against Ireland in Dublin last week), fair enough Eddie Jones says we can't play like we did against France every week but the intent still has to be there in my opinion, the intent is there with New Zealand and/or France, that's how they want to play the game, so why don't England do the same ?

    Mediocre, playing a style that is sleep-inducing.  Run, get tackled, win ruck, hope to win penalty, otherwise immediately kick to other team.
