Borthwicks interview about as convincing and inspiring as a sloppy dogshit sandwhich.

Eastern Samoa is rather larger than we suspected.

Is it my imagination or is Borthwick's nose getting longer after each press conference?

What is the point of Lawes' tattoos? He's filled the details in so much he may as well have taken a black Sharpie to his arms.

Nice from Marchant and Steward to open the defence up there.

Ball through the hands, and the overlap gallops in down the touchline... what is this sorcery?

What is the point of playing Ford not at first receiver? Great injection into the line by marchant in the lead up to that try.
Shit kicking all around.

And an immediate fuck up at the restart leading to a Samoa penalty.
Thank fuck he shanked that so horrifically.

At least one of his arms is just a blackout that covers up the previous sleeve.
It became a bit of a trend a few years back, first noticed it with AFI frontman Davey Havok who turned his sleeves from this:

Obviously Steve Borthwick's galaxy brain can see what 99% of other coaches don't - that the fly half isn't actually supposed to play in that channel.

In all fairness Farrell got the line moving for the try and put Tuilagi into space (to competely crowbar it).

Well, yeah, because he's a fly half. If coaches want him pulling the strings, just pick him at 10 and put one of Smith or Ford on the bench. We're the only team who pick a 10 and then have him hang around while the 12 does their job.

We know why that is as the coaches accept Farrell as lone playmaker doesn't work but won't drop him.
