Eddie Jones
England kick&crap team coach bitter today after struggle against Italy complaining 'that wasn't rugby, it was rugby league'.
Pirrock ????

Re: Eddie Jones
Very "unsporting" of the Italians not to play to Jone's game plan and refuse the ruck.
Almost came off for them too ????
Made for a more interesting game.

If only! Then Farrell, Ford and Teo could show their skills instead
Re: Eddie Jones
Churlish from Jones, I thought. As the pundits on TV made clear, it's hardly an unknown tactic. I seem to recall Shaun Edwards adopting it in his early days with Wales. And I saw England player Nathan Hughes do it just a few weeks ago. So annoying when the opposition don't do what you expect, isn't it?
Re: Eddie Jones
And as for George Ford, judging by the way the French centre trampled over him to get his score, I can't see he'd be too much of an asset in SL.

Re: Eddie Jones
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
But quite within the laws of the game.

Re: Eddie Jones
The England team will beat most teams with one big BUT
The Italians played to a game plan that caught England on the hop and did not expect .
Nobody on the field was able to change the game plan to counter these tactics . It wasn't till half time when the coaches in the dressing room were able to advise them . That what worries me about the likes of Farrell he dosen't seem the be able to play "out f the box" and can't change things on the field if it's outwith the plan
Regards EW
