What is going wrong for England?

What is going wrong for England?

Author: The Telegraph March 13, 2023 Duration: 1:08:27

Ben, Charlie and Charles reflect on the penultimate round of Six Nations action where England suffered a record home defeat to France in a major reality check for head coach Steve Borthwick.

We discuss England's problem areas following a difficult afternoon at Twickenham and who should play at fly-half against Ireland next weekend. Owen Farrell was forced to settle for a spot on the bench against France with Marcus Smith preferred while there's also the possibility of a return for George Ford, who is yet to make an appearance this campaign.

The Irish Grand Slam remains on after they picked up their latest win away to Scotland. Despite a string of injuries to their pack in the first half, Andy Farrell's men overcame adversity to deliver what he called 'the best win of his career'. We discuss Ireland's relentless form and what chance, if any, England have against them this coming weekend.

Plus, Wales are praised for picking up a bonus-point win away in Italy and we answer your questions too!
