    So the rot has well set in with the England setup. Eddie declaring after the game that some of the players out there today have played their last game for their country.
    That's a really shit thing to hit an already demoralised team with. After all the pretend calmness of 'this is on me' changes when the reality dawns to 'my players let me down'.
    If you are going to employ Eddie for a world cup campaign do it two years out, not four.

    Frenchman in the pub yelling "send him off". But I think he doesn't know the rules.

    If Wales scores a try from here, I hope the kicker has enough brains and funny to miss the conversion on purpose.

    Watched Leeds v St Helens last night. The way the league backs dropped their hip and straightened the line was a joy to watch

    Our miss passes are shitting me

    Couldn't draw the curtains let alone the man

    Fair to say Ireland are the real deal , but most knowledgeable kiwis knew that anyway , so it shouldnt be that much of a surprise .

    I think England are probably the bigger story right now ....... more bark than bite ?

    Worrying thing for England is Ireland could have played much better. Opposition teams have figured out Jones' game plan and he seems to have only ever had one plan.

    Even more worrying is that if Sth Africa turn them over in June and NZ do the same in November, England are left with a lame-duck coach with no plan B, 6-9 months before a Rugby World Cup.

    It all sounds horrifying familiar... 🙂

    Ireland are the real deal these days and I think there's a 65.2956% Eddie Jones won't be able to halt the usual fade he experiences with every time he coaches after the two year mark.
