Much better from England with shape and width in attack combined with some decent grunt but how woeful are Australia, absolutely garbage at the minute
England take on Australia tomorrow and there’s frustrations and denials in camp with what’s written about them and Steve Borthwick. There’s no smoke without fire though so hopefully it galvanises England. Have a read of my column for @RugbyPass here👇🏼

I actually appreciate @AndyGoode10’s comms which don’t just conform to what World Rugby want to be portrayed👏🏼
It’s challenging the issues with officiating in real time and sparks discussion which inevitably will lead to reform. Take Bordeaux v Bath last year in the Champions Cup as an example, yet another longstanding issue with French tv directors not being able to find the angles. That is now changed this year following his comms bringing everything to life (and some back and forth with @SquidgeRugby to make it go viral 😂)
The one thing he could do better is mask his bias as it consistently favours English squads, if they’re not playing then it’s Irish, Welsh or Scottish. Always seems to be a focus on calling out issues with French and South African teams 🇿🇦🇫🇷
Nevertheless, biases are human nature, we all have them. It doesn’t take from the fact that his punditry is necessary for the game to evolve💯
The more people we have on the inside challenging the age old conformity issue in rugby the better. Let Pollock be a himself, let Rassie test things out from the coaching box and let Goode call things as they are in commentary. It will all combine to force a better product for both players and fans🏉

Got to feel for the Ulster lads in Cape Town, they must have run out of factor 50 suncream as they are sunburnt to fuck!
Probably take up hurling in my spare time, sponsored by @BoyleSports ! Is there an England team?!
Great news for London Irish fans that there’s the want to come back and they should be welcomed back with open arms if they repay their debts. Have a read of my column on it for @RugbyPass here 👇🏼

Leicester schooling Northampton up front in the second half! Saints fans should blame Mitchell and Pollock for starting and continuing the scrap and agg just before half time!
That one big family in the Shed are loving this! Some performance from Gloucester especially in defence and up front! Bath very one dimensional and off the boil, Gloucester top dogs in the @premrugby at the minute!
Eoghan Cross having a great game on the whistle between Pau and Leicester, needs to work on his tan though!
