[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 780268, member: 20956"] Are many people completely writing England off though? I mean they're a bit of an unknown quantity with Jones (much like France with Noves), so you can't really write them off or declare them as favorites (which oddly, they are at the bookies...) Wales winning the grand slam in 2008 shows that a new coach make a huge difference after a pool stage exit. Would argue that post 2015 RWC England are miles ahead of post 2007 RWC Wales anyway! Defending 5m out is different to 80m. The last ditch mentality is harder to maintain further up the field, so the right option for wales would've been take the points then try and take advantage of the extra space out wide, no matter how far-out they were.
