[2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 3: England vs Italy (26/02/2017)

People hate Eddie Jones because he's a complete knob. Nobody hated Stuart Lancaster.

People didn't hate Stuart Lancaster simply because he wasn't really a person worth talking about. That's not a good thing. Eddie Jones probably is a bit of a knob I don't know, but what I do know is he tries to take the heat off players at his own expense and that's a sensible thing.
 
I think the rules might be changed around the ruck, A 'ruck' will be formed from a tackle and the attacking team being over the ball - this will then set the offside line being the shoulders of attacking player (but that's where it gets complicated and up for debate as to what body part they will use) - once the defending team engages it then becomes a 'contestable ruck' and normal rucking rules would resume. Thoughts? Because as much as I don't want to applaud the tactics they are the current rules, that was Rugby but I don't think anyone wants to watch that week in week out, therefore a bit detrimental to the game only IMO.. Again apologies for the comments earlier, was heat of moment :(

Why is Jones so mean in his comments, call Sexton he's crying over jones comments.

Why did NZ play so rough against us.
 
That was ugly by all concerned. Never want to see that no ruck tactic again. Within the laws, without the spirit.

What the hell has happened to our forwards? Just too nice, too many piano players, not enough piano shifters. Won't happen, obvs, but wouldn't be upset to see Sink, Atwood and Morgan start against the Scots. We need some physicality in the close exchanges and ball carrying oomph.

And whatever Jones is doing before the games just isn't working. Our first halves have been dire.
 
Nah it was becuase Lancaster had no bite and made an England team with no nite.

You know I'm right, getting smacked in the head or being too dumb to work out a simple rule. You need to pick your battles better buddy. You are the guy who thinks Owen Farrell should be anywhere near the Lions team so it's my own fault for arguing with you.
 
Yes.

Never thought Kruis was ahead of him. He's a much more simple player... ruck smasher.

And who needs one of those when there are no rucks?

Haha, If Schmidt coached England he'd be hated too. It's how it works. No one had a bad word to say about Eddie until he took on this job. Having said that he shouldn't be criticising italy, he should be roasting his stupid players.

Absolutely, but not in public. He'll be doing it behind closed doors
