With all the talk about the behaviour of the Argentinians and our questionable discipline taking the headlines, we forgot about one pretty major thing: we got a scrum pushover try, against another tier 1 team?! I don't think most people understand not only how hard that is, but how rare too!
OK, as with any England game and especially a loss, there is always a vociferous crowd calling for the head of X coach. This is not new and certainly not exclusive to Borthwick. No one ever seems happy, so I want to test the waters.
If you could wave a magic wand and get your perfect coaching team (try to have SOME level of realism about it), who would it be? And what sort of play style would you want to see instead of the current one?
Had this ever happened to anyone else? I cleared out Hub City Auto Wreckers and was looting up in one of the trailers on top of the bridge, and there was a settler, on their knees and as though I was one of the kidnap rescue missions.
Had the dialogue and everything to free them, but they didn't go anywhere. I definitely didn't have a rescue mission on my quest tab, and I fast travelled away. Are there just random kidnapped people around the Commonwealth to free? Or was this a glitch?

Edit: I also toast the bottom of the buns lightly, then wrap the whole thing in foil when it's done.
Firstly, this isn't a slagging post, and I'm not one of those that revels in a Leinster loss.
Speaking from a neutral perspective, it's so perplexing that any side absolutely bursting with the quality they have, continually fail to get over the line in finals. What I'm wondering, is what are they actually able to do to take that extra step?
As a squad, they're embarrassingly rich with depth of talent, and the team they are able to put out on these big occasions are absolutely stacked. So what can they actually do?
Their game plan regularly sees them shredding teams. They had Reiko Ioane this year, Jordie Barrett the last. So clearly, quality of player isn't an issue. Is it coaching? Does the game plan need to evolve? Or something else altogether?
I'll go first: I think refs talk TOO much to teams. It's not the refs job to keep policing players in open play. Players know the laws and should get penalised for breaking them. There's no other sport that demands so much from its referess.
I know the visual storytelling in this game is everywhere and done so well, but wtf can the background to this be?
