England are on the hunt for a new under-20s coach

I agree, which is why not too dissapointed with this weeks team naming.

Were did England get unlucky like in the tone of this article?

Yeah I cant really remember the SAn tries, you're saying they weren't jammy? Which means 'opportune', at the right time. Good to hear an Englishman with some optimism and enjoyment in the rugby, I hope you're primarly talking about your own sides ability to play with the ball!

Eggchasers... well it certainly would be easy making enough money doing that for a living!

That said, one change I'd have made in the backs was Reiko to 11, & Tupaea/ALB in the centres.

He also pointed out the "no killer instinct" narrative that they simply weren't good enough. Do yo disagree that SA were that great against NZ?

Readying the article I didn't even see that as a dig towards SA SF, simply an exciting take on how close the ABs really are again to those at the top. I feel it is more you that is taking away from this enjoyment with you replay that is largely based on a lot of old resentment.

Just enjoy how good the rugby is and that NZ is back baby!

We have immense talent, some of the best in world rugby, but it's wasted on this coaching group. I put Bunting in the same loser category as Penney & Foster. At this point in time, success at RWC2025 seems a longshot!?!

And then fronting up in the collisions and at the rucks. If the boks get the ascendancy there too early, it could be a hiding. Jaden hendrikse had a tough game against the Scots - who were very good at disrupting the boks flow. The welsh would have taken note of this i'm sure.

But the bok bench will finish the welsh off i'm afraid.

They might get there as those bad years filter out of the rankings but it's guarenteed to be great fun going back and forth with SA once that happens.

Admittedly Foster only really had one bad year (21/22 season), but that's more likely because COVID stopped a lot of tough games from being played, and effected the other countries they did play far more than themselves.

A real shame we both don't get to see it unfold first with our regions teams in SR!

As an Englishman, one thing that excites me despite my team consistently losing currently (lol) is that there ARE a number of top teams that ALL challenge each other to the end. Instead of everyone whining and complaining and rueing their team's narrow loss, can't we just do what Eggchasers does and just enjoy how competitive it is right now!? Can we not respect the opposition instead of either rubbing it in (online, rarely done face to face surprise surprise) or trying to save our ego's blushes by slamming the opposing team because they beat us!?
