“Awful” – Angry England fans wanted one player hooked at half-time

Watch the Guinness Six Nations at your local Greene King sports pub.

Social media was flooded with criticism as fans reacted in real time to the performance.

One supporter fumed: “George Ford having an absolute mare at the moment!”

Another insisted he should be substituted immediately, writing: “George Ford needs to be hooked at HT. If he can't find touch twice in 20mins then he's no good on the pitch.”

The frustration only intensified as the half wore on.

“Get George Ford off at half time. Carried on where he left off last week. Dogshite,” wrote one angry viewer.

Another added: “George Ford been playing against England for the last 2 weeks. Awful, awful, awful.”

Some even suggested his international future could now be in doubt.

“This is an awful George Ford performance and could easily be his final England game as things stand,” claimed one fan.

Summing up the mood, another posted: “George Ford should get the hook he was crap last week and even worse this week.”

With emotions running high, it was clear patience among sections of the England fanbase had already run out before the half-time whistle.
