Ellis Genge Criticizes 'Out of Touch' Reaction to England's Recent Rugby Wins

The England vice-captain expressed frustration over negative responses to narrow Six Nations victories against France and Scotland.

Ellis Genge described the criticism of England's recent Six Nations performances as 'out of touch,' particularly after their 16-15 win over Scotland and 26-25 victory against France.
England ended a five-year losing streak against Scotland and broke a seven-match losing run against tier-one nations but faced boos from fans and harsh pundit reviews.
Genge emphasized that Test rugby often requires pragmatic, less expansive playstyles, which he believes are undervalued by critics and fans.
The prop highlighted England's ability to adapt and secure results, contrasting it with the preference some have for entertaining but losing rugby.
England is preparing for their next match against Italy, with Genge cautioning against underestimating their opponents despite high expectations following France's dominant win over the Italians.
