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

Mar 04, 2025, 20:45

More like rested, I'm sure...

Mar 04, 2025, 20:56

Nope. The word used was dropped.

Mar 04, 2025, 21:39

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


Mar 04, 2025, 21:39

Well there you go.


Mar 04, 2025, 23:45

Henceforth he shall be called BorthDick!

Mar 05, 2025, 02:35

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.

Mar 05, 2025, 21:34

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.

Mar 05, 2025, 21:58

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

Mar 05, 2025, 22:22

More kicking equals more winning, Becs.


Such is the the game :/

Mar 05, 2025, 23:17

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


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