well, the shit show that was dropping Rennie 9 months out from a World Cup seems to be over (thank fuck) what a disastrous idea, trying to buy world cup experience by kicking out the bloke who had decent success with 30 injured players.

muppets...

Thought it was mad England sacking Jones, and I was one of the people that maintained England had been underperforming for about 18 months. Couple of million quid buying out contracts just to get to where they would be right now anyways.

But sacking Rennie was absolutely batshit. If you look at the win % he wasn’t doing brilliantly, but a lot of those losses were very narrow, for eg single point (iirc) loss to France in Paris etc, and in circumstances that were less than ideal. The administrators basically YOLO’d it, and there should be heads rolling higher up imo.
