🏉 Trouble in the England Rugby camp! England just stumbled to their third straight defeat in the Six Nations, losing 23-18 to Italy, marking Italy’s first-ever win against them. 🏴
Critics are looking at head coach Steve Borthwick with some raised eyebrows. Rugby legend Austin Healey has weighed in, claiming there’s a lack of trust between the players and coaching staff. He’s even called Borthwick’s tactics somewhat of a mystery, suggesting it’s time for a fresh face at the helm.
Maro Itoje, England’s captain, landed in hot water with a costly yellow card for a “criminal” action, reducing England to 13 men when they could least afford it. His reckless decision handed Italy the upper hand, and they didn’t let go. 🟨
Itoje acknowledged the slip-up, stating, “We take responsibility. The result wasn’t good enough, and we have to own that.” 💬 Despite some previous good performances, the squad’s recent form has been shaky, casting doubt ahead of the Rugby World Cup in 18 months.
