[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1022290, member: 73144"] Wasn’t just these 2 games though, it was the whole Autumn and much of the last 6N (despite the fact we won it) plus the wash out that was the RWC final. If Jones takes the plaudits for the QF and SF performances which were very good then he’s also got to take the brickbats for what’s happened since. And if we leave it a year or so and things don’t improve then a new coach only has a year until the next RWC to mould their team. For financial reasons as much as anything else I doubt we’ll see a change though. BTW I’m not saying that Jones was wrong in his post event thinking about Ford and Mako and the RWC final. I just thought he was totally out of line to say it publicly and if both players didn’t go privately ballistic then they’re bigger men than I am. I don’t mind losing (occasionally and not to Wales) but I just can’t see any clear pattern or rationale in what we’ve been trying to achieve with what is a very experienced group of players. [/QUOTE]
