Two wins from two to kick start the Six Nations, but it seems the Red Rose aren’t quite impressing everyone.
Ex-Ireland back-row Alan Quinlan feels England are a very simplistic team who are obviously rather kick-happy.
Speaking to Betway this week, he said: “England show no ambition and ‘kick the leather off the ball’ – they could be really dangerous
“This is no disrespect to them but they are the one team really guilty of kicking the leather off the ball and keeping things quite simple and not showing any ambition in attack. It will be interesting to see if they change their approach moving forward.
“I commentated on some of their games in the World Cup and it wasn’t great. Now English fans might come back at me and say well we got to the semi-finals and we didn’t with all your fancy rugby.
“There is a balance, If you’re controlling the tempo and the scoreboard and winning ugly fair enough.
“But England are better than what they have shown. The profile of the players they have if the shackles come off a little bit they could be very dangerous.
“They will always have that power up front and pace in their back line. They need to attack more.”
