Solid progress.....Just read the statement. Now - for my sins, I've read and indeed authored some ambiguously worded reports in order to say damn all, and this is right up there with the most dishonest.
At no point this 6Ns did England play as well as they did last 6Ns - especially in beating a vg France side, playing to their strengths. That it was an isolated game ought not detract from the fact that the win vs France, showed exactly how England win big games. That they couldn't repeat is surely down to the coaching....
Lol basically put it well - suggesting that a key issue is "......the gap in terms of ambition and execution of game plan is so vast...............we come back to the fact that France have made real advances since the 2019 World Cup, while England haven't"
I'm with Lol.
