Full strength England face 'must win' Fiji test
About this episode
The episode discusses the pressure on England's rugby team ahead of their match against Fiji following a defeat to South Africa.
It's the second round of the Nations Championship with England taking on Fiji in Liverpool. How much pressure are Steve Borthwick's team under after their defeat to South Africa? Alfie Reynolds, Alex Lowe, Charlie Morgan and Will Kelleher look ahead to the match and focus on the growing frustration among England fans. They chat about the need for both a result and a performance against a very dangerous Fijian side. Plus, could the success of the England football team at the World Cup distract attention from the under-pressure head coach? They also ask why there is such a disconnect between how the team views its performances and how the supporters view them. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
