England Attack Analysis: World Cup 2023
Whilst not pretty it’s hard to deny England have made huge strides since the Summer Series. Improved discipline, fitness levels seem to be there or there about and defence has become as miserly as you could want conceding a sum total of 18 points in the two world cup matches against Tier One opposition to date. But, whilst all of the above might be true it remains to be seen if they can elevate their attack to similar levels....
The Anatomy of a Try: Bundee Aki vs England 2023
Ask most Rugby fans to describe a team, such as the All Blacks and you’ll get a pretty consistent answer even from the most layman of fans.

Dissecting A Kick: England vs Scotland Six Nations 2021
Without doubt one of the stand out moments in Englands defeat to Scotland was Stuart Hogg’s booming right footer in the 54 minute. As a moment that encapsulates everything in the game it’s perfect. It’s basically England’s own approach returning to haunt them. This spiral punt from Hogg in the second half was simply beautiful in every way! #GuinnessSixNations #ENGvSCO pic.twitter.com/3pSvjOhxnt — Geraint Davies...
