The challenge of losing at home and playing again on the road seemed harder than ever. At the critical moment, the team suffered a major blow, with the departure of nine international stars, including many club stalwarts and national team mainstays. In the face of such a situation, the improvised coaching team also seems to be unable to cope with the situation. If the list is wrong, you may be able to avoid being cheated and hurt, but in the face of such a predicament, what can you do?
A number of players in the starting lineup are not regular starters, such as center Watkins and back Curtis Jones, while a few starters such as Bellingham and Pickford are prized.
However, surprisingly, the team exploded out of adversity with a big win that not only reclaimed the initiative to hit the A Grade, but also secured a return to the A Grade with just a narrow win over Ireland in the final round.
