in my opinion Dombrandt deserves at least a chance
Scrum half is the biggest joke that no ones mentioned. How the hell are Youngs and Heinz the best 9s in the country... damming indictment of English rugby if they are.
100% this what happened to Dan Robson eat al
youngs was apalling, willi heinz is at least solid and can generate quick ball
Tim Harms yeah with the pace of a tight head!
Youngs was utter shite, slow for everything, not decisive. Heinz was meh, but as a duo I dunno what Eddie is thinking
Eh? Youngs didn’t have the best game but when he plays well, England tick! His box kicking is possibly the best in world rugby and that’s what our whole game plan is based around when in our half! He’s a key cog in this hugely successful machine... I love it when he has an average game and everyone slates him! 🤦♂️ maybe there’s a reason he has 90-odd caps people!!!
If you want to play a crash-ball style of play (which we did all game) you need the ball carriers for it. We were left completely reliant on a half fit Tuilagi for any go forward because Eddie refused to give players like Dombrandt, Devoto or Thorley a real chance. If he doesn’t want to make like-for-like changes then he needed to change up our attacking style, but he didn’t. We could’ve changed things up to suit a dynamic running Curry-style 8, but we didn’t. Plus, if you want a dynamic running Curry-style 8 who’s good at the breakdown, you pick Sam Simmonds not Curry!
Next week’s team, to actually fit our gameplan, should be:
1. Marler
2. George
3. Sinckler
4. Itoje
5. Kruis
6. Curry
7. Underhill
8. Dombrandt
9. Heinz
10. Farrell
11. Thorley
12. Devoto
13. Tuilagi (Joesph if unfit)
14. May
15. Watson (Daly if unfit)
16. Genge
17. Cowan-Dickie
18. Stuart
19. Lawes
20. Ludlum
21. Robson
22. Ford
23. Daly (Furbank)
Why Marler? Man can't make his mind up whether he even wants to play for the country. Spends half his time taking the piss when he does. His ship has sailed.
Can't help feeling Eddie Jones has tinkered with selection 'Aussi style' which is ironic when you consider he stated from day one that he wanted to concentrate on traditional English strengths. The English pack never seem to click without a solid No 8.
Wow!, 1 game in and the knives are getting sharpened! 😂😂
Arrogance is his number one issue... before the WC everyone says pick Alex Goode, he picks McConnochie. Everyone says Cipriani, he finds space for Piers Francis despite Farrell covering 12. Everyone says pick Spencer, he picks Willi Heinz as one of only 2 scrum halves. This tournament the consensus is Dombrandt or Simmonds at 8, he inexplicably doesn’t pick an 8. Problem with Eddie is he perennially likes to assert his authoritarian control and contrarian standpoint over selections. He’s drummed into this side that his Plan A is infallible, and the only time it doesn’t work is when the players don’t execute it, not that Eddie has been out coached. Hence there’s no Plan B when Eddies “perfect plan” doesn’t work. Cue panic from the players. The arrogance and pigheaded nature knows no bounds...
Couldn’t have said it better m8
yes i agree
Utterly agree. Wish he'd shut his fucking gob once in a while also
Spot on
Scotland coming up and I see England tripping up there too. That would make it 3 losses in a row for Eddie. I felt his contract should not have been renewed after the WC as it felt like the end of a cycle and he could take the team no further. Now we have a rudderless Eddie getting lost and creating a mess when we should have brought in a new regime and a fresh way forward.
agreed, said the same.New direction and energy was required after the w/c final.
Come on, give some credit to Galthié. It's very dishonest to think the positive changes are only thanks to Shaun Edwards.
Farrell not big, fast or strong enough for 12 but is a good enough 10. Don't agree on Maro - he's quality and learning his craft. Courtney should be starting alongside him - that's one of the best second rows in rugby. Totally agree with you mate on the number 8 situation - what was Eddie thinking? Full back situation not great either - put Daley back there and give Joe Cokanasiga a go on the wing? That could solve the lack of big ball carriers facing England at the moment.
Bonny Trippler coganasiga is out injured for awhile mate
@Cameron Brown Fair point but he's a better 10 than a 12.
@@RugbyLatestNews ah OK didn't realise.
Goode doesn't want to bang players individually - he wants the full gang experience.
Hahaha, I thought it as I saw your comment and couldn't help but chuckle! 😂
@@WalesTheTrueBritons I've just realised he said 'bagging', so my joke no longer works.
Get Dombrandt in asap
Jonny may!
Jones did the same thing with the Wallabies.
If Jones doesn't change personnel/player positions for Scotland then he's just being stubborn
Allez les bleus!!
It is amusing how all the awful insults directed at Jonah Ryan in the TV shop Veep work just as well directed at Jim Hamilton.
How’s about Lawes at 9, Maro at 10, Sinkler on the wing......
Still got to find a place for Ford and Youngs........props?!!
It may not work but then again Eddie doesn’t play anyone in right position either !
Laughing emoji with the tears.
😂😂😂
Farrell in all positions
Very hard to disagree with any of this. Strikes me he is just contrary against the media sometimes. Hopefully he plays Earl Saturday and moves Curry and Lawes back to their right positions.
Bang on Andy. Nathan Hughes would have been my pick.
Against France, England looked tired and stale.
I do not like Owen F at 10. And our fullback was very poor but Youngs at 9 has to come to an end. Plenty of talent in the premiership to fill those boots.
He chose to play two world class operators in positions that make them LESS than world class... why?!
The thing that pisses me off the most about English rugby is how fickle the supporters are. Eddie Jones is dealing with lots of issues on and off the field. All the people calling for dombrandt ignore the fact that he’s hardly played this season. Name a better 9 than Heinz or Youngs atm. Spencer is out of form for Saracens, and you shouldn’t give debuts out in the first game of the six nations away in Paris, as evidenced by furbank.
It is ridiculous that the best England has to offer is Youngs and Hienz. Especially if we look over at the Welsh team who have Tomos Williams, Gareth Davies and Rhys Webb. All 3 of them would get in the English side, shouldn't be the case.
@@sportspundit7171 give me names. I agree that 9 is a major weak point for England. However I don't think it's a good idea to debut someone in the six nations in such a key position. We're in a four year WC cycle, and that can wait for Japan this summer
@@sportspundit7171 sorry didn't read your reply properly, I completely agree and it's a real mystery
Danny cares been good recently, youngs is hopeless now
I agree goody loves bagging on Eddie Jones the guy has the highest winning record of most English coaches I think goody just like generating controversy although I think they should have pick Sam Simmonds at 8
Getting beaten by the French is one thing, a side with such history and flair. If England get turned over by the hapless Scottish Jones will have a lot to answer for.
Did you see Scotland last week? Helluva performance.
This the same hapless Scottish side that retained the Calcutta Cup last year?
@@inBODwetrust13
Conspiracy theory alert!
England threw that one.
Ironically, those conditions were tailor made for a hapless team to grab an unlikely win.
People demanding the managers head after two defeats is really tiresome. As Nigel Owens point out "this is not soccer".
@@ploppysonofploppy6066 2 defeats??........
Why are all you English people going on about the English coach Shaun Edward's and insisting that the English person Shaun Edward's is solely responsible for the greatness of other teams?
Wales nilled Italy without Shaun Edward's. Don't think the Englishman Edward's ever achieved that with Wales.
So Byron Hayward is better.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Italy? 😂😂😂😂😂😂You clown
Eddie messed up (again)!
KARMAAA
You lot are going to get your arses handed to you against every other team this year.
Doubt it. But if it helps you sleep at night. We're still THE biggest scalp of NH hem rugby because we have an utterly superior record to you also rans. A fact you can't bear. Suck it up
Jones was in a hiding to nothing.
If we had won the first England France match after "Brexit Day", Farage and Alexander Boris Deffefil would have claimed the credit, and 37% of the population would still believe them!🤣
Mate. Sad sad comment. Stick to the sport and not your bitter twisted view on politics
@@dazeng4633 Emoji! Look at the Emoji.
Sadly though, politics is everything and everything is politics. He would have done it.
Can i ask,why do do we listen to Andy Goode this was England's worst flyhalf,and he talks so much rubbish
George Ford needs to go back to club rugby , that was a terrible display at 10 I think he's lost he's ability to see what is in front of him
