    I was impressed by the French. They sought to bully the English and made sure they took their chances. A bruising encounter in rugby conditions.

    Even before the French got away to a good lead the commentators were being very critical of Eddie Jones

    Was that negativity common? Is Eddie over staying his welcome?

    @Duluth There was lots of criticism from various pundits about Furbank at Fullback and Curry at 8 before the game. Both were poor selections.

    More generally, a mediocre 6 Nations and Eddie Jones could be on his way or face changes to the England coaching structure. There is some unhappiness that there is only one English coach (Simon Amir) in his set-up now.

    Bugger. Just bugger. Well done Les Bleus. Eddie’s baffling selections did not work, the lesson that seemingly cannot be learned. Odd really when after the RWC final he fessed up about making selection errors, playing blokes out of position.

    Early days, that's for sure, but this French outfit could become the dominant team in the NH in a very near future. They will probably solve their scrummaging problems, and with Penaud back on the wing, they will add more sting to their backline.

    The anti-Eddie campaign has really been there right from the start. It was just shelved during times of success.

    Jones has just made it clear that he's uninterested in sucking up to the media. And if there's one thing the media don't like, it's people that don't suck up to them.

    Bothwick?

    But he is off to Leicester straight after the 6 Nations.

    Matt Williams called Eddie Jones as "arrogant" after England's 24-17 defeat to France in the Six Nations. Jones's pre-match comments came back to bite him.
