The problem with RFU’s handling of Six Nations review is that England fans aren’t stupid | Robert Kitson

The Rugby Football Union (RFU) has faced criticism for its lack of transparency in reviewing England's disappointing Six Nations campaign, in which the team suffered four championship defeats for the first time since 1976. Instead of holding a press conference with CEO Bill Sweeney and head coach Steve Borthwick to address the poor results, the RFU issued a brief email statement that critics say failed to provide meaningful accountability. Columnist Robert Kitson argues that the rubber-stamping of Borthwick's coaching team without public explanation is an insult to England rugby fans who deserve honest answers.
