[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 977679, member: 56232"] I don't think the player selection was too bad for the SA game compared to what we had had previously, it was the mindset of the players that was completely wrong. Right from the off there was just no intensity at all. The fast line speed was completely gone, tackles were passive and players were trying to force the game very early on. The previous tactics that had worked so well were chucked out and the players (youngs in particular) resorted to what they felt comfortable with. 1 off runners off 9 with no support just running at brick walls. No decoys, no deception. England do not lack the physicality or the skills to win, what's missing is the winning mindset and the ability to keep going when things aren't going your way. The ability to wrest control of a game that is slipping away has never been demonstrated by this England squad under Jones. The work for the future is getting the mentality of the players sorted first and foremost. Big question, who is going to replace Jones in the future? [/QUOTE]
