That’s a Baabaas try!

Now that’s a conversion!!!

Good man Kruis!!!! Back heel

Isolated at the breakdown yet again!

It's like watching Bath play - which is about the harshest criticism I can think of.

The best English coach beats England again!

So, anyone going to play for England again. Sounds shambolic from professionals.

Embarrassing

50 up!!
Another good day for England

And that’s 50!! England players walking! Piss poor effort!

Kruis motm. Great stuff!!!

humiliated by 14 players. Japan moment for some of these guys mebbe. A bit of a disgrace tbh

If the Barbarians had started off with their closing pair of half backs, that would have been an even more embarrasing rout.

Any point swapping Borthwick in for Jones prior to the World Cup?

He should have gone after the 6N. I'd be up for anyone coming in to replace him.

Coaching and selection by rugby rebels committee?

"Made a mockery of England today" Flatman just now. He's right. England were abject.

That was a humiliation. An utter thrashing by a scratch side, reduced to 14 men for 50 minutes, on our home patch.

I know I'm very bias, but I just can't see what single area of the game Randall is better than Mitchell at

breakdown, decision making, basic skills even set piece all really poor. Against 14.

so much for strength in depth.

and it may just be me, but Jonny Hill getting commisery high 5's after dropping the ball over the ball was irritating.

yep

Eddie ‘Manchurian Candidate’ Jones.

9 tries

we've got a lot of learnings...lot of young lads.....new combos.....full 80. I dont envy Tom Curry having to do the interview....but...

“Five on the bounce” oh to be a Baabaa.

Its a thankless task after a performance like that but this was an experienced England side. It wasnt a bunch of young lads. There was caps aplenty throughout the side and even on the bench.
I thought Freeman and Chick (who was subbed early, natch) were among our better players and they arent exactly 50 cap veterans.
we were so poor in so many areas that you have to look at how this team have been prepared over the last few weeks.
