Former England winger Chris Ashton has launched a scathing criticism of Ireland’s James Lowe in the aftermath of Saturday’s game at Twickenham. “The whole England thing now is based on what Saracens have done over the past five, 10 years. England don’t want the ball, they just want to smash you backwards.”On the same podcast, former England scrum-half Danny Care echoed Ashton’s comments on Andy Farrell’s tactics. “I was really surprised by how Ireland played,” the Harlequins player said. As Ashy said, that’s what England are basing their game on.
