Few players reach the 100-cap milestone for their country, but Courtney Lawes has now joined a very exclusive club. He explains …

We have the players, we just need to back ourselves. When there's space on the edge, ship it don't kick it away. A bit less Boycott and a bit more Bazball and we'll be in the mix

England rugby struggling so let’s hear from Gareth Southgate. A man who butchered the last Euros/World Cup and should be out of a job himself.
-
Borthwick seems to have no energy
-
we want to back you lads, just dont give daft high tackles and pass the damn ball and we'll always be with ya

While watching the Fiji game, I was so bored and uninspired by the way england were(n’t) playing I had stopped caring if England would win. I almost hoped Fiji would score and win, just to get behind some players who seemed excited and free to play. I feel for the england players as they seem completely flat and restricted on the pitch by a gameplan that looks very out of dat, and boring to play and watch. Rot starts at the top – time for the top brass of the RFU to be put out to pasture?

I have a lot of faith in the team lads. I've played rugby from nat 1 downwards for 30years and have some idea of ups and downs in a team.
Please just have a go lads. I make the oppo tackle phase after phase. Stop the kicking after every second phase. U don't need me to point this out just let the shackles go and have a crack because you are better than kick and clap rugby. -
Well the RFU's CEO had a 55% pay rise, taking his remuneration to £668,000 per anum, and as he's regarded as a marketing genius (not sure who by…) I've no doubt he'll have inspirational words and ideas about congratulating Courtney on his 100th cap and England's roaring success in 2022/23. Apparently, fans aren't allowed to 'moan' about the teams performance, as it means we're just negative nellies, so looking forward to thumping Argentina, smashing through Wales or Aus and storming to a win in the semi's, then a walk in the park for the final.
Every member of RFU's 'executive' board should tender their resignation once we get knocked out, and no golden parachutes. Don't blame the players, they don't pick the coach and the coach is selected by the RFU. In ye olde days, people would tender their resignation when they had done something thoroughly unprofessional and asleep in the trough, and we've lost that somewhere… -
Or Not this Rose??
No post match content, just hiding away, let it all simmer down. Not authentic and just rubbish all round
-
Forget the PR shite lads. Get the performances in France in, and the fans will take care of themselves.
Northampton Old Scouts were a regular opponent for my club in the noughties. Even though I mostly played in the sheep field across the road, I'm pretty sure my path crossed with Courtney on several occasions.
Good on yer big guy.

A genuine shame we didn't get to hear Borthwick's inspirational words at half time or post-game in the huddle. Massive respect to Lawes, who's been a superb player for England and played well against Fiji. But this team have been totally shafted by the coaching team who just aren't anywhere near the standard required. The RFU's decision to sack Jones and replace him with Borthwick and a bunch of utter novices was idiotic.
-
Something is not right in the camp imo…I really want to fully get behind the England team but it's difficult at the moment.
I'm just not feeling or seeing the energy from the players at the moment…
I just don't feel like buying an England shirt yet let's put it that way… -
Overpriced tickets and a team that couldn't knock the snow of a washing line with a shovel – England are so dire they are virtually begging fans to stick with them.
-
First time ever on the eve of a RWC as an Englishman that I am more excited to watch other nations play over England. Honestly couldn't give much of a damn about watching ENG this year. If they play the same style and way in their first game as they did against Fiji, I'll only be watching other nations from that point on.

Marcus the only player with his head up playing what's in front of him…
-
Ever since kit went to umbro.
Its gone tits up. -
is it Spain squad ?
-
Awful team, seem more concerned with parroting the required RFU management speak and posturing when playing is required. There was a message in those empty seats at the weekend…..and it may get louder before you lot listen
-
Unfortunately I've stopped caring whether England win or lose. This team and coaching set up has made me fall out of love with the game.
-
I've never been so bored and un-excited watching England play rugby in all my life
-
Courts deserves better.
-
Never mind connecting with the fans, how about connecting with the ball and getting back to winning some matches?
-
There was about 12 fans at the fan event. Well done on the 100 big Courts.
-
Why is Lawes concerned he’d get through training? Suggests there is still doubt around his physical ability – it’d be hard to give 100% in a game if there’s fear of injury.
-
They’ve clearly identified the need to communicate with fans the need for support. But is it too late?
I don’t doubt the players are working hard but there seems to be a system issues likely to be upstairs with the RFU and the coaching set up. -
Sad
-
Getting it right? Cry me a river. This team is awful, and it all starts with Bill Sweeney.
-
8:33 with the sock on the wrong foot 🙂
-
I saw you at that charity rugby match on Saturday
-
As an Irishman.
I want England to be strong.
Respect to Courtney on his 100.
Top notch. -
Christ, brining in Gareth Southgate. He is the most negative, boring bloke possible; no wonder our attack is rubbish and our players lack personality!
-
We are so fucked
-
Start smith !
Play arundell and give him the ball!
Let smith run the show like Russel does for Scotland
Stop forcing players to stick to a game plan which is outdated and ineffective (we don’t have a bombsquad)
It can’t get any worse than it is so why tf not -
World cup here we come
