England Defeats Scotland, Faces Criticism Over Tactics
England's narrow 16-15 victory over Scotland in the Calcutta Cup has reignited debates about head coach Steve Borthwick's tactics, which some critics argue hinder the team's potential. Despite the win marking England's first against Scotland since 2020, the performance drew boos from fans, particularly for a kick-heavy strategy that contrasted with the desired free-flowing style. Borthwick defended the approach, emphasizing the importance of results over aesthetics and highlighting the tactical challenges posed by Scotland. Injuries to key players Tom Curry and Tom Willis during the match raised concerns, although Curry's injury is expected to heal quickly. Critics, including former players, have voiced frustrations, claiming that Borthwick's methods are limiting the squad's capabilities. Nonetheless, England remains in contention for the Six Nations title, needing favorable outcomes in upcoming matches.
