Doesn't auger well for the Lions tour, either for the number of Welsh players on it or, and perhaps most importantly, the chances of success as they will have to score tries to beat the All Blacks. The Wales players who I think should definitely be in the Lions squad are Alun Wynn Jones, Sam Warburton, Taulupe Faletau, Rhys Webb, Dan Biggar and Leigh Halfpenny. Maybe Jonathan Davies too....

Eddie Jones is a big baby -- he was out thought and like all big babies, he blames everybody but himself for his team being unable to adjust -- he is the coach, after all not Romaine Poite!!
I think the Italians are to be congratulated for upsetting the England apple-cart so they then managed to put up a really good few scores - shame that they haven't got a place kicker.
As to respect, Baby Eddie showed no respect for Italy prior to the game with his comments about what his team would do to them. He then showed little respect for the laws of the game by saying Italy shouldn't exploit them!!
Well done Italy!!

As Dad's Army's Captain Mainwaring might think ' Beat the enemy by confusing them ' even if you didn't quite intend it to work out that way

I really liked Eddie Jones until he started talking about people should be demanding their money back and that his team hasn't played rugby
He's lost a lot of credibility, in my eyes, for being a bit too arrogant I think
He should have congratulated the Italian team for exploiting a rule loophole
It didn't help by Haskell asking the ref what they should be doing

I don't care in the slightest if he's a bit arrogant. He's been brought in to make the England team the best in the world. He brings drive and a cold hearted ruthlessness to the England setup, which we need if we want to see the team at the top of the tree. The other countries (apart from Italy, ironically enough) all hate England anyway, so what does it matter ?

No probably not but I think he has just a few things that undermine his credibility as they don't seem to be have been said with any humour or a wink
