And then we've got to go to South Africa in the summer.
Like this could be a really tricky run for England.
For your boys.
Well, not anymore.
I've sold them.
Sold them at a significant discount.
Do I think that they can turn it around and challenge, you know, France is the one that's going to influence us.
It looks like France could have it won after four rounds, which is crazy.
But if they didn't get a bonus point win against Scotland, it still gives us a sliver of a chance.
Could England turn it around?
Yes, they could.
They have the game to be able to do it.
But they were just so far off that at the weekend.
I personally didn't, but I was obviously delighted to see it.
How do you explain it?
Well, I think first off, look, we were talking about Andy Farrell and getting the strategy right.
The defensive strategy was right, which we talked about earlier.
Like even when to chop tackle, when to choke tackle.
Like we got their key runners on the ground, like the likes of Pollock.
He was so frustrated because we had guys just coming in, chopping him at the knees, getting him on the ground.
