Apart from the 2 decades when they couldn't win the world cup and flopped even worse than Ireland?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Silly honestly, we have not showed up today.I know quite a few people who have booked tickets for the finalwaste of cash
This is the first decent side they have faced.
SA played Ireland and France.
You can see who's fresher
We haven't in the 2nd half if I heard correctly
That kinda makes sense. England could only beat NZ if there's a hurricane there.Just to add to the absurdity here..... England are favourite for this match, yet you'll still get better odds for South Africa to win the whole thing than England
These scrums are taking a lot of England
Maybe but at the same time we went with the same starting line up, and that's on the coaching team here.
Scrums making me very nervous
a perennial quarter finalist and a bridesmaid?
aye. that’s where we’re losing this.
Yes, that overhit kick when you should of had a try.
England literally played most of the game with 14 men against Argentina. Sure SA had the tougher game last week but England didn’t have it straightforward against Fiji. England have played well but are tiring here.
That was coming for a while.
Get in!
Came 2nd in 1995 after extra time (15-12). 4th in 1999, 3rd in 2003.
Bit of a harsh comment.
Squeaky bum time!
Munster and Ireland's Snyman?
Farrell will pull out a drop goal out his arse from about 5 miles away no doubt.
It's coming from them being clearly the best team in the world by a distance in that period I would guess. Before the professional era they were utterly dominant except for in those WCs during that era
England struggling with the scrums.
Yeah fair then.
That said, I saw a Haka from the early 80’s today. It was absolutely hilarious. Recommend the watch.
Don't know why England ever dropped Steward
At least we scored a try as a consolation.
Feck sake, England making silly errors now and they are a pen away from being behind.
Where was this urgency earlier in the game? I don't fancy either of these teams against NZ to be honest.
England. Glorious failure. Matchmade in heaven.
we’ll win some friends in the irish at least.
Was it a 70s one or an 80s one? I've seen a 70s one that was hilarious.
But yeah. It's been forgotten now a little perhaps, but it shouldn't be. NZ were under enormous pressure in that home world cup to beat France in the final after too many failures and they only barely did.
They are the Brazil of Rugby. That’s ace from a country of 4 millions people.
He's been incredible
Feck sake!!
England's scrum got done the same way France's was.
knew it was too good to be true.
I don’t see a penalty there
Sweet as a nut
Straight down the middle. Amazing that SA didn't bring Pollard initially
Maybe it was actually a 70s one. It just looked like a bunch of mulletted uncles at a wedding standing in a line dancing out of sync.
No fear instilled whatsoever.
Always hurts more when you piss it away at the end.
He’s been brilliant since he came on.
