[QUOTE="Not Eddie Jones, post: 986842, member: 81025"] Well again, that's why it's well worth reading his autobiography. He talks about how much he pushed the players in 2018 post-Lions tour to see what their limits were, who could take it, who could adapt, who couldn't etc. The media at the time called him an idiot and said he'd lost the plot, but it was all to improve the team long-term, and when you look at 2018's losing streak, would you have expected that team to reach the WC final the next year? Or would you have expected GS winning, NZ-beating Ireland to do it? And what happened? He may perplex at times, but there's a purpose to everything he does, whether it ultimately works or not. He wants to drag English rugby's standards up and get them as high as they can possibly go. It's not all gonna be smooth sailing. [/QUOTE]
