Eddie Jones
Re: Eddie Jones
That was pure genius from Italy. Only thing they did wrong was not to wait until the second half of a close game to do it or even leave it until the next WC and beat a top side. If that game was close and they did that tactics at the second half they would have won.
Best thing I have seen all day its funny even the commentators reaction the ref telling players its a tackle. Look on peoples face.
AT LAST union has become watchable due to its hilarity.

Was what the Italians did against any rules in the game.cow yeds wrote:Deliberate offside tactics today by the Italians to stop England moving the ball. Got away with it because they didn't contest the rucks. Jones was quite right in what he said.

Re: Eddie Jones
How much did Jones learn from Andrew John's.
Dummy runners, no look passes, good angled runs, I'm not convinced this is all out of Eddie Jones training bible.

Re: Eddie Jones
Great game plan by the Italians. The thing that makes me laugh most is the number of people who are suddenly experts and immediately knew what was the problem. I referee union and 90% of the players I ref do not know all the laws of the game. Especially the ruck laws.
The game is over complicated which helps account for it being way behind league in entertainment value.
The reason the tactic can't be played all the match is that as soon as the other side realise what the law says, they just pick the ball up and smash through the middle, which is what England did.

Rugby yawnion. It's too technical for the likes of us to understand, apparently.
Hence this quote from Eddie Jones last week: “George and Owen are a brilliant combination at 10 and 12,” says Jones. “They are able to read and control a game and are absolutely outstanding."
I wonder how they learned all the technicalities, being brought up in Rugby League?

Good point PM. Everything good has been learned from RL. Nice to see "game plans" could catch on in Union. ????

I would be checking the trade descriptions act very closely indeed
That was better than plenty of RU internationals...
Re: Eddie Jones
A very good friend of mine posted a link on facebook the other day referencing an article in some newspaper that claimed they learned all this from attending a particular school in the St.Albans area where she lives. Ignoring the fact Owen Farrell played for Wigan St Pats for twice as long as he played junior RU at this school when his Dad moved down to play for Sarries. I was not happy.morley pie eater wrote: Hence this quote from Eddie Jones last week: “George and Owen are a brilliant combination at 10 and 12,” says Jones. “They are able to read and control a game and are absolutely outstanding."

All according to Rugby union media of course.
This makes me dislike rugby union as a sport due to the lies they bring up in media, it is so false.
