[QUOTE="General Melchett, post: 1110581, member: 74895"] Jones is yesterday's man and has been draining RFU coffers for years. Yes he had a good first year or so in charge but has been living off the back of a purple patch which happened to coincide with the last RWC and even then he got the final badly wrong. He's been a poor head coach for 2-3 years now. One of his quotes after yesterday's game was 'we're not far off'. Not far off from being even more ****. The RFU need to find a head coach who has the cahones to drop Farrell from the squad who is and has not been good enough for test rugby for years. I note that there has been quite a turnover of his assistant coaches over the years but there is one common denominator who has managed to cling on. There must be at least 20 head coaches out there who would be an upgrade on Jones. Very professional performance from the Boks who will take some stopping next year IMO. I can see them winning it if they can beat Ireland in the group stage and overcome France/ABs in the QF. [/QUOTE]
