[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1047307, member: 56232"] Just caught up on it. Thoughts: First and foremost, Ewels and Ludlow aren't merely average players, they are poor players. At least Itoje can perform brilliantly and give away penalties, these 2 contribute nothing and give away penalties. It's not an England thing, Ewels is the most carded Bath player this season too and plays exactly the same reason. They aren't even decent at club level, they are flat out crap. They shouldn't be in the side but wtf is Jones thinking not just having them in the side but as captains!? It's been a constant problem with England that we give away too many penalties so he gives the captaincy to a crap pair of penalty machines. There really is no justification for it, Jones is seriously ******* it up. Neither of them should wear an England shirt again short of some serious improvement (which I doubt will happen) and as a Bath fan, if we could replace Ewels at the club too that would be fantastic. I think Smith was just fine. Expecting a 2 cap flyhalf to be properly reading a bunch of moves with a team full of new caps is ridiculous. Ford and Farrell would make more than that many errors no trouble. For all we know Smith was actually the one executing the move correctly and it was the others out of position. Cokanasiga still has butterfingers too often. The Falcons guys all stood up well The penalty count, ffs sort it out Jones! How are we still giving away way more penalties in games where we are utterly dominant? It's killing the team in closer games and he has shown he is either unwilling or unable to fix it. The fact he keeps choosing crap penalty machines as captains suggests he doesn't think it is a problem, that's seriously bad for a coach. [/QUOTE]
