I reckon it's start again time for England. The pack, which so comprehensively shoved Australia back down South, have been abysmal in the whole tournament; they even got second prize against Italy. I reckon that the pressure will be on Robinson by Monday, and rightly so.

There is no platform for the backs. Watching the Scotland game it looked like the rushed defence was keeping England on the back foot, Scotland were just seemed more aggressive around the breakdown. I think now having seen the game today that the tight five have gone backwards, no idea why though.

Martin Corry is not the leader that England need, Dallaglio undermines him completetly. The front row can't win an argument at the moment and they are getting shoved all over the park in the scrum. The backs are living off scraps and it's horrible to watch.
