All I can see is two things from this. The first one is a scandalous lack of leadership, strategy, understanding and direction by the RFU, cemented by their determination to crush and destroy us and Worcs with today’s ruling and deadline. The game’s governing body is demonstrating wilful neglect of their duties and Sweeney should quit - in any other organisation or business his position would be untenable - sacking Jones two years too late, letting professional clubs go to the wall, being ripped to shreds by MPs in a public enquiry and now leaving their flagship side high a dry a few months before the World Cup.
Secondly, much the same it’s down to Sweeney, but Borthwick will be just a continuation of the Jones style (without the abuse). A Farrell dominated kick and chase outfit that will plod along with no vision, style or entertainment value.
I’d even prefer bigmouth Baxter over Borthwick, but I just can’t support an England team that represents the RFU - an organisation that put it’s foot on our head when we were drowning and needed help, and a league that is dominated by corrupt owners calling the shots.
