Plum….

Rumours are that Marcus will be dropped for Elliot Daly this Sunday against Italy.…….

More like rested, I'm sure...

Nope. The word used was dropped.

Why the hell would he be rested - no Borthwick is stupid enough to drop him

It was bad enough moving him to 15 now it’s to the bench

Problem is Borthwick is a conservative prick and Markus is too flamboyant for him

Well there you go.

Henceforth he shall be called BorthDick!

Ha ha !

Now the rumours are saying he’s dropped Slade and Chessum too.

If we lose to Italy, I’m going to be seriously mad.

To be fair, I do feel he's resting those guys. I'm not sure I'd play Marcus against Italy either.

Italy are terrible right now/always.

Rassie would "drop" 3/4 of his team against Italy.

I really don't mind Borthwick. I despise playing Marcus at 15, but that's my opinion. England are playing top rugby under him and they're improving.

They turned France over. It was only a brain fart or two by the porn star that cost them the Irish game. They played very well in NZ last year.

I don’t know…..always expect the unexpected from Borthwick !

One year, Italy will beat us and I might have to stamp my good foot in anger.

Well, Marcus is on the bench and Daly starts.

Slade is dropped for Dingwall…..not sure what to think about that. He's ok for Northampton but has never shone for England when he’s played before.

"really don't mind Borthwick. I despise playing Marcus at 15, but that's my opinion. England are playing top rugby under him and they're improving."

Unsung top side who, in fairness, should have played in the 2023 RWC final...only a miracle kept them out...

We’re not playing good rugby though. We’re just kicking the leather off the ball.

The tactics are totally the opposite of how most of the team are used to playing. It’s madness.

It's clever rugby champagne rugby doesn't win trophy's.

More kicking equals more winning, Becs.

Such is the the game :/

Nah. I don’t believe we’re playing well.

We’ve been lucky thus far. We can’t keep riding our luck.
