[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1059739, member: 56232"] He then took us from the 2019 final (which was one of the bigger thrashing in a WC final) to the 2021 debacle and our worst ever 6N, 2nd only to his previous debacle in 2018. When he took England over they were a consistent side for the most part and just lacked the final killer instinct. He gave them that killer instinct but since then England have become wildly inconsistent with extreme form fluctuations and a definite downwards trend in terms of points scored and an upwards trend in points conceded. 2021 was the first time in 6N history we conceded more points than we scored. You have to go all the way back to 1987 for the last time that happened, and that didn't have Italy as whipping boys to pad out the score. Jones has some good to his name but he also has some "Worst ever" England performances to his name including worst 6N finish (twice), worst PD in the 6N, most tries conceded, biggest winning margin thrown away in a game, most points conceded against Scotland, most against Wales. England blow hot and cold and the trend has been for more cold than hot. Teams go in cycles but under Jones England have become wildly erratic both over the course of a year but also within games themselves. We have become the new France, on our day we can obliterate anyone but more often we can utterly implode. [/QUOTE]
