  • England fans seem to say Eddie Jones is the problem. His mistake would appear to be picking players who aren’t very good at playing rugby.

    I liked that fella who came on at 10 for Wales, I hope he starts the remaining games.

    Or more to the point haven’t been playing any top-level rugby for too long - and boy did it show. Warburton was spot-on with his comments about this.

    Sheedy has been fantastic for Bris for a couple of years. Was disappointed Eddie didn’t follow up his little stint in the England setup, on the bench vs the Barbarians. Big mistake. Jones not being able to look past the end of his nose again...

    England were poor. With no ‘power’ carrier in midfield, it’s not obvious how they’re trying to play. Back line closed the space all afternoon and crabbed across the pitch, giving the wingers nothing to work with. Wasted a couple of 3 on 2 overlaps. Too many penalties. Basic stuff. Wales were competitive in the setpiece (an area England were looking to dominate from their selection), looked dangerous when they did decide to put in through hands and took their chances. Fair result, regardless of anything else.
