See, it's a long term plan and we took the positives from the first 70 minutes :whistle:
What many Jones detractors don't realise is he has the highest win percentage of any England coach in history.

They are in transition again at present, as is the cycle, but this team looks like it's building well again. Hopefully at the right time.

We'll never be the Kiwis- ever.

Wales lost against Georgia. Georgia play rugby?

Agree about the ref
Can't remember a single decision he got wrong, just a high tackle that should have gone against us.

Rugby is Georgia's national sport.

Wales is their biggest victory, although they have beaten Italy and Tonga.

They'e no mugs. And if rugby was fair they would be doing better now and had a chance in the Six Nations.

I'm really pleased for them.

Ball out incident, a few scrums and the non knock on in the first half
I didn't see the first half, in fairness. He was fine in the second.

I am not a fan, did I mention that :lolol:

Big credit to someone for the comeback though

Should not be so quick to post about him being a dinosaur etc…
It’s an opinion I have built up and has accelerated since the pathetic capitulation to South Africa in the WC final. I am not crediting him with today’s comeback, I’ll give that to the players. The first half was reminiscent of the SA game

We are the most flair deficient major rugby nation imo and seldom look the equal of top teams, we have the players and we should be

All about opinions

Australia absolutely blew that. They had most of the possession and territory but every time they got near, they did something stupid (normally something illegal).

I've just qualified as ref and I found myself watching the ref more than the play. It's a whole new slant on the game - he did a good job, he's a pretty decent ref

We respect he keeps saying we are in transition, it's easy to say. There's no evidence of this, very little change of plan, when he Billy V and Manu playing we are mostly good, we look clueless without. He may have a good win percentage. But at one point he had the biggest budget on support staff, coached at a time when we had Saracens and Exeter as the best team in Europe and for the last 5-6 years the talent pool has been immense. And we still play mostly dour attritional rugby, talk bs about bashing people and haven't achieved more than Wales and Ireland recently and shown up by Scotland
