Well a great deal has been said this last week after England's woeful performance against the Scots. England need to show their metal this Saturday. Sadly it will be against Italy and I fear they will not be able to give England a stern test compared to Wales, Ireland or France. Eddie Jones persists with his favourite out of form players maybe to give them game time? If that is the case then, it is a shocking selection system being employed and gives NO incentive to other players and makes a mockery of Jones going to clubs and watching players.
Guinness Six Nations
England v Italy
Saturday 13th February 2021
Twickenham - Kick Off 1415 GMT
We expect they will have worked on their discipline this week and match fitness. Shame about the players who have been dropped, we would question what exactly they did wrong compared to the favourites? So we wish England the best of luck and hope they get back to winning ways.
