England’s Six Nations review is under fire! 🎯 Former coach Sir Clive Woodward isn’t holding back, criticising the RFU’s review process after England’s dismal performance, which even saw a rare loss to Italy. The review, aiming to dissect England’s failings, has come under scrutiny for what Woodward calls ‘predictable’ and ‘disappointing’ findings. 😬
Woodward is particularly unhappy with how head coach Steve Borthwick has been left in limbo. Despite public backing for Borthwick post-review, Woodward argues decisions should’ve been made faster to support him ahead of their challenging South African tour. 🏉🇿🇦
In his MailOnline column, Woodward didn’t mince words, saying real leadership is about decisive action. He believes the RFU should have promptly backed Borthwick after their underwhelming fifth-place Six Nations finish, rather than leaving him hanging. 🏆
Further fuel to the fire: the anonymous nature of those behind the review. Woodward finds this lack of transparency damaging, questioning how such a process can be trusted if the key decision-makers aren’t willing to step forward. 🤔
The ex-coach is vocal about the poor communication and leadership, stressing Borthwick deserves more respect than being treated like a suspect in an investigation. England heads into their summer campaign facing South Africa with unresolved doubts, which Woodward fears leaves the team in a vulnerable state. 😓
