My thoughts as well. I have watched most of the Six Nations matches and am really struggling to find the enthusiasm to watch any more, because the rugby being played is so boring. Sure there are odds flashes of brilliance and there have been occasional moments in some games where I did perk up and take notice, but on the whole this has not been a great exhibition for the real rugby fan. I stand up and cheer on "my team" just as much as the rest, but I also shout loud when they play badly as you can see in one of my posts above, posted straight after the Scotland game. It was not a case of getting beaten by Scotland. It was not even a case of getting beaten. I was annoyed because England played so poorly and from what I saw, they only had one plan - run through Scotland !! I would like to have seen plan B plan C and even a plan D put in to action as no team can play one dimensional and expect to win consistently.
I don't think that there is any doubt that England have a good team and nearly all players are deserving of being called international class players, but I would like to see them play better rugby and actually show that they have a brain, rather than resort to the neanderthal approach of the 80's, which was "tuck it under your arm and run straight at them !!"
Bring back decent flowing rugby !! I don't care who plays it !!
