Many fans of England repeat the same delight after losing six countries

England Six nations The campaign began with defeat 27-22 to ruling champions Ireland In Dublin, which increases the pressure on Steve Bortwick’s head coach.

Hopes were high when Kadan Merley crossed in the corner to put England on 10-5 on half, but a number of gaps of the second half allowed Ireland to run in four attempts Jameson Gibson-Park, Bundee Aki, Tadhg Beirne and Dan Shihan.

Bortwick’s decision to make the back row of the fleet first looked promising because the speed of the line of England at the beginning of Ireland at the beginning.

And yet, after Ireland rallied under a temporary trainer Simon EstriftEngland fell again in the final stages, a very familiar drawing for frustrated fans.

In social networks, many supporters of England express the same complaint: under Bortwik, the attack has not developed significantly, and the team is still fighting for the closure of the games when it is most important. While some are recognized as bright spots – as a break in Lawrence line and the defensive efforts of Kerry Gemini – general sentiment was one of the disappointments.

“Although disappointed to recognize attempts, I think everyone could see how our defense took a step forward in so many areas,” Bortwick said at a press conference after a match at Aviva Stadium. “And the level of obligations of players in defense was exceptional. It does not take away the fact that we are disappointed so that you don’t get victory. “

X users remained far from convinced.

Former England Flichalf Andy Hudt suggested that the conversation about Bortwick’s interruption was damaged and did not help England: “The first half of England was good, full of aggression, accuracy and physicality, and then Steve spoke with them in half a time …”

Fans were equally relentless, one writing: “Bortwick should go. It is absolutely ineffective and is not suitable for its intended purpose. England was so poor in the management of games, ingenuity and the main performance of rugby, it is incredible. Here you can see zero progression – while another supporter of England wrote: “The lack of ambitions from England is criminal. In no case, one of them does not think that they can continue and win this game. Just not trying to play until the last n ‘ minutes.

Most disagreed with the insistence of Bortwick that England “made a step forward” against Ireland. One user X wrote: “Don’t agree that the attack looked better. My thoughts: Marcus Smith does not bring out the best of others – he plays for himself – while Finn Smith brings the best of other players.

It was not the only call for a change in half of Fly: “The time of change of Smith by 10 ″ and“ our attack was bad again. He left it too late to bring Finn Smith at 10 and switch Marcus to 15… Bortwick is too reactive. We will be 4 again! ”

England showed outbreaks of promises, especially during the chaotic first half, in which the speed of visitors who survived Ireland. But as the second half lasted, the main mistakes and lack of diversity in the attacking game were expensive again. Fans on social networks remain unconfirmed that Bortwick’s stay has lifted the side beyond the struggle, which saw that England had lost seven out of 12 tests in 2024.

Summing up disappointment, one post was written: “Steve Bortwick is really a terrible head coach, and I do not care what someone tells me. He is not a test coach of the test class, and he will never. This indicator of the Lestings us makes Ireland service. We were shit again – while the other complained: “The attack looks shocking, in no case you were, as” it is directly from the training ground. “

Followed by a match against France Enjoying, calls for shock, especially on semi-defense, will grow louder. Regardless of whether Bortwick sticks with Marcus Smith in Fly Half, or decides to give Finn Smith a starting role may be crucial.
