Leicester foetus, with less Premiership appearances than Sam Simmons has scored tries in this season, but he's a 5.5 so Eddie's hard for him.

Someone really needs to look at the typography and layout of this but it's actually 14/11 to England, thing is it's 6/2 to Ireland for P kicks at goal.

Practically guaranteed a second 5th place finish. I know people give out to Lancaster for his team never winning anything, but we never won fewer than 4 6 Nations game or finish lower than 2nd under him either. Frankly, I'll take a consistent 80% winning record over boom and bust trophy oscillation a la Wales. I am aware, however, that's not a popular view and for some people titles and trophies are very important.

The boom bust thing puzzles me because it's not like Eddie changes his tactics or personnel much.

Well done Ireland. I fully expected England's diabolical negative game-losing approach from Tactical Master Don't You Dare Question My Genius Eddie Jones, but we were even more of a rabble than I expected and Ireland were better than I expected.

A whole heap of shit from some of his favourite undroppables, too. Sadly Ford had a stinker and will probably be the one to pay the price.

Triple Clowns - we've not lost to Ireland, Wales, and Scotland in the same tournament since 1976.

Yep, Ford did have a stinker. No one had a good game today but There is a consistent real problem at 9 and 10.

Ford is not consistently a problem for us. Farrell is, far more of the time. But time and time again the team is asked to play this cancerous style of rugby, and Ford has to put most of his tools back in his box.

It's not Ford's fault we're kicking it away constantly. That's pure Eddie, particularly in away matches. He's addicted to anti rugby even when it's a relentlessly losing tactic.

Somethings wrong that’s for sure. Dayglo was spot on the second half. We had 2 positive breaks making good ground and on the 3rd play it got to Ford who kicked. Easy ireland catch and all momentum gone. Is jones saying to players,’ always look to kick.’ Not sure about that one.

Of course he is. It's been a pattern under him, especially in away games. He predicted England's style of play during the week.

If it's not him then he's a dreadful coach. But it's him. He's an absolute control freak.

I mean this is the guy who glories in stats about how often winning teams kick the ball, and who says centres are glorified flankers.

It's Eddie rugby to the core.
