But I think that's a big blow to Bortwick.

And I... Like...

If they don't improve massively over the next two weeks, well, then maybe the RFU do make a change.

Because definitely that playing group have underperformed.

They underperformed against Ireland and Twickenham, no doubt.

I mean, they're way better than that.

I know we played brilliantly, but they're way better than that because you're seeing the likes of Northampton and Bath and Exeter now

And the players from there, English qualified players, are good enough to do well as a collective.

So I think Morton will be looking over his shoulder because obviously if they don't do anything soon, it's too late.

But he has got the vote of confidence, but certainly that performance wouldn't endorse his ability to lead him to a World Cup.

Actually, Neil, my understanding is that Johan van Graan is the RFU's choice.

Really?

You see him as being a brilliant front of house guy who can, and allow his coaches coach.

So they actually reckon that a lot of the assistant coaches are actually quite good.

put their hamstrung by the rules and regulations and the restrictions around how they play.

So they actually, yeah, my understanding is that the RFU have... Have earmarked him.

Have earmarked Johan as being a really good guy.

Yeah, 100%.

And in hindsight, I think, speaking to a lot of players who played under him, they kind of only appreciated how good a job he was doing when he left.

And he wasn't pushed out the door.
