No excuses for Bor-ball stuck in reverse
Daily Express
|August 25, 2023
The Rugby World Cup kicks off in a fortnight with England charging towards it with all the gusto of slugs on sedatives.
Over the course of a dismal summer of red cards, injuries and grey rugby, Steve Borthwick's plodders have gone backwards.
It got worse yesterday with news Anthony Watson was out of the tournament with a calf injury, while fellow back Elliot Daly is a doubt, nursing a knee injury.
Their final warm-up ahead of the tournament against Fiji at Twickenham tomorrow should be a vibrant send-off, but if the rugby is as desperately grim as over the past three weeks England risk being booed towards France '23.
A former England captain told me he had switched from watching the Ireland game last weekend and put the athletics on, so disillusioned was he with the fare.
Borthwick is fast losing the room. England's backs have not scored since Freddie Steward crossed in a record home defeat by France five games ago.
