Head coach Eddie Jones does not see 'really strong problems' despite Twickenham defeatAnybody optimistic that Eddie/the team will turn things around in time for the arrival of the All Blacks?

The older I get, the more the RFU leave me confused.

Sunday's game was boring. England haven't progressed at all. Youngs is so slow and box kicks - for no apparent purpose - every time. JVP showed what can be done when a nine looks for the gaps. England strung 14 passes in the dying minute as they realised victory was slipping from their grasp - More I believe than in the preceding 79 minutes. It is ok for commentators to try and sell the services of Manu in the centres but he needs to get the ball in space and England just don't create than kind of chance. Farrell offers nothing, Cokanasiga and Nowell have to come in field to look for the ball - but then find props in the line who think they are backs and it just gets messy. |

EOH - are you sure you are not John Inverdale. The one thing that will wind John up is scrum resets. As JI has had no influence in 15 years, I really do not know how we solve it. |

I was fortunate to have free tickets to some of the RLWC games. When they have their 'scrum', a countdown clock gives them 30 seconds to 'huddle together' and then get on with the rest of the game.

Maybe if the outcome of a scrum infringement was a differential penalty then maybe we wouldn't have to sit there watching re-sets and goal kicking practice all afternoon rather than some decent rugby. Nobody is ever sure who's infringed and who hasn't so seems a fairer way of dealing with it

I mention it because their is a lesson to be had - give players 30 seconds to come together - stop the slow walk to a scrum, the messing about before packing down etc and get the scrum down and then the ball in (straight) and use the scrum as a way to restart the game rather than it *be* the game. If a scrum needs resetting, then the clock stops. If the props congratulate themselves for winning the scrum, then send them to the Tower. You don't see centres celebrate when they catch a pass - so why have we got to the state that the props think messing up - not winning a scrum deserves to be treated on the same level as being told they have won the lottery? I agree on the women's game. They just get on with it without the 'macho' approach that is seen in the men's game.

Total cobblers.
Here’s a strategy he might want to try, a bit off the wall, but how about playing players in their correct positions. |

I see Eddie Jones has now appointed Brett Hodgson as new defence coach. This gentleman was recently sacked by Hull FC (super league head coach) after hi team finished 9th in the league. What could possibly go wrong?
