This Rose | episode 15 | Time off and then back to work!

After a few hard-earned days off, the squad are back together in Le Touquet training harder than ever as they prepare for the next Rugby World Cup test in the shape of Samoa.
Ellis Genge opens up on everything from the pressure of representing your country during challenging times to the pain of wasting money on an unnecessary Fast Pass at Disneyland. Meanwhile, head coach Steve Borthwick discusses the impact of the fans and the squad dynamic and mindset.

Ellis Genge is a true hero.

[@paddyk3748]

Shadow of his forma self when he was at tigers

[@G-regTaylor]

@@paddyk3748 ridiculous statement

[@ac2244]

@@paddyk3748he’d fold you up in two seconds you melt 😂

[@paddyk3748]

@ac2244 luckly I'm not a pro rugby player so it don't matter you melt

[@bigbadfrank]

Especially with phrases like "left, right and rhubarb" LOL I'm stealing that!

[@tobymcflurry258]

I love Genge, an aggressive beast on the pitch, and a humble down to earth lad off it. Legend

[@Nowsynergy]

Gengey is such a good role model for the upcoming generation of players. From Where hes come from and struggling with his dyspraxia. He really has developed as a person and it shows on and off the field. The boy from Knowle 🌹

[@luke.hutchinson]

Englands greatest strength is focusing on the detail and focusing on one game at a time. Fans and media have low expectations and may be the most underrated team of the tournament

[@fabiomachado8432]

Thats also my understanding. Acting like a "smooth criminal"

[@hotstepofficial]

Spot on about Lawes.

[@TP1988]

England don’t make them like Big Courts, he’ll be felt when he’s gone

[@Noah20]

Dosent even start in our first xv

[@benvaughan3392]

​@Noah20 who's "our"? I think we can recognise he's not in his prime anymore but still a great servant to english rugby

[@TP1988]

And - yes he absolutely does start in ‘our’ first XV 😂

[@jonnybaynham1689]

In 5 years time i can see both Andy and Owen Farrell coaching international teams. Owen seems a natural coach and probably may make a better coach than a player.

[@dcmj3798]

i bet Owen will be playing til hes 40, a hyper competitive individual like him wont stop until his body tells him to stop

[@davidpearn2484]

​@@dcmj3798He certainly ain't no jonny sexton.

[@keithrichardsom1898]

Love these podcast s, also love they way England are quietly going about their business keep it up boys onwards and upwards

[@timwannell6477]

Proud to be an England fan

[@kieronlazenbury5491]

keep it up you're dong a great job week in week out to improve

[@davidpearn2484]

Yep and inprove they must, let's see how it goes against the fijians 🤪.

[@dannyc28]

Borthwick will come proper good with England. 100%

[@producerintaipei]

Well, well, well ... Steward can kick!

[@Danimal13]

You can’t ignore the fact we’ve been very fortunate to have such an easy group, it’s allowed us to build up a bit of steam, we still aren’t playing very good rugby but hopefully we continue to improve and actually start to back ourselves and play to our strengths and get ourselves ready for what will be a very tough quarterfinal and beyond

[@MARTINA-gc3tq]

Were Youngs and Ford practicing slow ball from the ruck and catching passes that are both too low and too high? And was Smith leaning how to take a hit from a centre that is twice his size?

[@fabiomachado8432]

How much was Genge benching ?

[@PaulWilsonfitness]

160kg

[@jamessampson7835]

The sound mixing could do with some work, I realise Steve is a soft talker but the general audio balance and loudness isnt consistent throughout.

[@MrDoyley35]

“We’re going to be hard to beat”? oh dear. Why not say we’re going to be fucking unstoppable? Because with the right mentality this team could be. They have the talent, size and support structure to be the best in the world. Just need to cut out all the bullshit.

[@benvaughan3392]

Because then all the media will be like "they're so arrogant and haven't proved anything yet"

[@seruturagabeci1441]

Facts 💯🫱🏿

[@G-regTaylor]

Calm down

[@user-ex8lq8cz9p]

U lot need to take Farrell off he is so terrible he took 20 secs directly under the posts keep ford on

[@user-ex8lq8cz9p]

Sorry 30 secs

[@mattt1212]

Sorry but that performance against Samoa was embarrassing. Borthwick is so out of his depth he is swimming at the bottom of the Marianas Trench. Have to reluctantly wonder if a QF loss to Fiji is best because once we play the big guns it will be a bloodbath. A truly sad state of affairs.......

[@eilidh771]

The untouchable Owen Farrell. Decisions on and off the field make any sane person question what the fuck World Rugby is playing at.

[@G-regTaylor]

What’s your point.

[@sb50cal9]

Bore off

[@matthaynes3320]

15 minutes of cliche sound bites "buzzword buzzword buzzword" - everyone interviewed

[@G-regTaylor]

Did you even listen what Ellis was saying?

[@mattmorgan4083]

Moan for moaning sake lad

[@__dur__bridge__]

Change the channel mate

Imagine calling ur wife a "partner"
