I haven't watched the game or even the highlights so this is more of a question... But when the ABs struggle at the moment its because we are losing the gainline battle (on attack and defense). On attack it means we get poor service to the halfback, and on defense it means we struggle to set our D and then end up giving away silly penalties.
Is a similar thing happening for England - because if so then the ABs are evidence its fixable. But if they're winning the gainline and still losing, then that might suggest a deeper malaise that is harder to fix.
