Who's the defense coach? We're scoring enough points to win these games but shipping even more.

Nige's penalty tonight which ended the contest. It appeared that (and sounded like) Phipps was penalised for taking out the opposition halfback without the ball, despite coming through the "gate". Looking at the laws - he seemed to be applying this... Which would imply that the ruck was over...

Very frustrating at the moment, because so many players look really good, especially in attack, but then the the flaws crack open under pressure, and we lose 3 zip despite scoring enough tries and points and having the possession to do so much better. Fundamentally, the problem seems to me to...

I think that's tied for the second highest points total for a losing team in history (third if you count Namibia (54) v Madagasca, 2012) behind Wales (44) v Argentina in 2004, and same as NZ (40) v SA in 2000

How the hell do you lose 3-0 to England scoring 4 tries in the first test match, have 70% possession in the second and then 5 tries in the third?

It's 4 in a row isn't it?

Should have been a yellow card there. Can't keep collapsing mauls. They are professional fouls

More points from another "clearance" kick. Why don't we just try kicking it out?

To'omua shows he's got dud kicks in his aresenal as well, and then Fardy completes the dumb penalty maneuver to gift England points

England will scrum us out of this now. Fardy isn't up to it at this level

And we once again see why it's not a good option....

Palu on for Skelton? Fardy to lock?

Got one back!

We're falling apart here. Simmons was the glue that was holding it all together....

That try is criminal for an international side. You can't just allow the no 8 to stroll over like that

Unlike that one, Arnold better get off the ground for future lineouts or we really are stuffed

Skelton's still on so looks like it. 80 mins from him would not have been the plan :(

And people wonder why Simmons keeps getting picked....

Yep - they dropped the kickoff directly on top of him and have been sending pressure his way every time he looks like getting the ball since

Itoje is a seriously good player. In everything
