Rugby Union World Cup 2023 - A closer look at England after their second game

(The network diagrams are coming, they're finished, I just need to write the text round them) 

(The post about the Italian Grand Prix and the Singapore Grand Prix is also coming, I just need to take out all the exclamation marks) 

My summary of the Japan vs England game to L was "What England were doing right last week they aren't doing right this week", which I stand by.

Although at least someone not called George Ford has now scored for England   

Here is when England scored points, by time and player

The number of point-scoring moments England players were present for looks like this 

It does look like there's a solid core of Itoje, May, Marchant, Ford, Daly and Earl that are present when England score. 

The dendrogram of which players were on the pitch at the same time when England scored looks like this   

I'm including the dendrogram because, due to the number of England players who have been on the pitch when England scored, the matrix is only showing half the names. Normally when that happens, it's staggered and half go on the x-axis and half go on the y-axis. For whatever mathematical/spatial reason, that hasn't happened this time, and I still can't sit still in one position long enough to add the names in either half. Once leg is healed, I will try and get this done. 

The matrix looks like this:  The network diagram helps identify the players not marked on the matrix diagram: After two games, there isn't yet a pattern of when England concede points   

England's opponents haven't had enough point-scoring moments for there to be a concession network diagram, but the matrix looks like this:  I'm trying to figure out if Joe Marler's line is unexpectedly pale (suggesting he was on the pitch for fewer point concession than those around him) or if it's just a side effect of props not playing 80 minutes anymore.
