ELLIS GENGE has hit back at England’s “out of touch” critics, claiming the negative response to a nail-biting Calcutta Cup victory “blew my mind.”
Steve Borthwick’s side have won their last two Six Nations matches by the skin of their teeth at the Twickenham Stadium, squeezing past France 26-25 before edging Scotland 16-15.
They conceded three tries and scored just one at the weekend, drawing audible boos from the crowd and some tough words from the pundits.
