Former England centre Will Greenwood has launched an epic rant after witnessing England narrowly clinch victory against Samoa in the Rugby World Cup.
"Genuinely, I'm slightly lost for words as to what I've just seen. Painfully slow, set piece fell apart which is unusual," began the 2003 World Cup winner.
Greenwood questioned the selection of Jonny May and Owen Farrell as he delved into the game in tremendous detail. England were seven minutes away from defeat against Samoa on Saturday before substitute Danny Care's decisive try.

England’s route to the 2023 Rugby World Cup final revealed

Let's venture into the realm of imagination and explore the potential trajectory that awaits Borthwick's formidable team.

Quarter-final: England v Fiji

After a historic defeat to the Pacific Islanders last month, England is poised to seek redemption in the quarter-finals. Steve Borthwick's squad aims to erase the memory of their lackluster performance, and with their recent form, they stand a strong chance of advancing to the semi-finals.

Semi-final: England v France (or South Africa)

If the French can secure victory against South Africa in the quarter-finals, they will face England in Paris in the next stage. Despite Dupont's injury, he will be available for the match. However, England might capitalise on a fatigued French team that expended every ounce of effort to eliminate the Springboks in the previous round.

Final: England v Ireland (or New Zealand, Wales or Argentina)

To be the best you've got to beat the best. Steve Borthwick's men will have to beat the number one side in the world if they're to lift the Webb Ellis Cup for a second time.
