The recent loss to Australia, where Max Jorgensen scored late to seal a 44-37 victory for the Australians, has sparked criticism from former players and pundits. Former England captain Dylan Hartley has expressed concerns about the state of England rugby, highlighting the need for improvement[2].
England's coaching setup is also in a state of flux as they prepare to face South Africa. The team is still uncertain about their coaching arrangements, which adds to the pressure and uncertainty surrounding their upcoming match[2].
In terms of player performance, there has been a call for changes in the team selection, with some suggesting that George Ford should be replaced. Andy Goode has been critical of Ford's performance and has suggested alternative players who could step in[2].
As England looks to bounce back from these setbacks, they will need to address their defensive issues, which have been a major concern. The team's 'blitz' defence has faced scrutiny, and they will need to find a way to strengthen this aspect of their game if they are to succeed against South Africa[2].
