Summary
England's hopes of a 6 Nations title went up in smoke as they lost to Ireland at Twickenham. Following a loss to Scotland a week ago, Steve Borthwick's side produced another lacklustre and dreadful performance. Alfie, Will and Charlie try to pick through the bones of a galling defeat which will ask major questions of this England team. Will it be a performance which ends England careers for some players? Is this 6 Nations campaign salvageable? And, why have the wheels come off so spectacularly? Plus, they chat about Ireland's excellent display! Hosted on Acast.
