English rugby chiefs have been slammed by former internationals for not telling the truth when hailing the “solid progress” of their also-ran Six Nations team.
England won just two games for the second straight year, have now lost six of their last 10 in the championship and been outscored 10 tries to two in their last three games.
Yet the Rugby Football Union chose to release a statement stating that they are “encouraged by solid progress” and confirming the Union “continues to fully support” head coach Eddie Jones.
