Have you seen that Jones has come out with the classic, "I wouldn't change anything" stance regards his own decisions during the match to bring on the substitutes?

He turns it on the questioner by saying we're all hindsight experts.

Beyond forums like this where we all tend to be more invested in the game and couch nauses, I'm still amazed and slightly appalled that so many of the Barbour brigade still think Jones is the best coach in the world. Exactly the same type of people who run the RFU.

Was the throw straight?
Straighter than some that were let go.

If you want something to whinge about, how about this: The lineout was taken with the hooker standing directly behind the AR, who had his flag up and his arm out, and the hooker threw over him. It's reasonable that England were caught on the hop there. I must admit that looking at that I've always assumed that when the AR is standing on the mark with his arm out, you're not supposed to throw in yet.

I was just following the example of the Sweaties still moaning about the English lineout throw being crooked. Imagine the noise if they'd lost?!
Maybe you could give us a list of things to post before you go off on one so you don’t look so fucking stupid? Just an idea.

For me, I am always absolutely riveted by how much hype England has invested in their team, and if they lose, how nasty and generally awful the fuckers get.

With Wales we just expect to lose and we are like "or'ight butty, well played, yeah we were shit but you were awesome"..
The English are like
Blame the ref. Blame luck, blame the weather, blame absolutely everything, frown like rugby is a frowney competition and Owen Farrell is their king.
I know rugby is a professional sport on and off the pitch, perception. narrative = money...but can we not just do away with it for once?

It is not like this seasons six nations means anything really.
Lions selections don't depend on it.
It isn't even an indicator of performance during the world cup, unless it is "peak too early".
Just enjoy it.
If you lose, so what?
Lets all just be happy, pissed up amateur's.

Bugger. I'm starting to think Randall, Smith and Slade are a lightweight midfield. Cautious optimism be gone.

Even this ref isn't going to save the Sweaties.

Basically 3 mins of f all. Why dont they just stop the clock until the ball goes into the scrum.
