Did Eddie Jones really say last week that England plan to put a cricket score on Italy?

No, he just invited Alistair Cook to training

Still, what fucks me off is that these terrible games they have don't result in a loss.

I take solace in knowing that the Lions are going to get pumped in NZ.

Even 36-15 is not a cricket score.
What's more relevant is the question - would Georgia have managed to play a test like that against England since the world and its mother seems to think they should be playing in the 6/7 Nations with/without relegation?

Not sure? Who is their coach at the moment. Conor O'Shea sure had a shit eating grin on his face for picking a tactic that Eddie hadn't thought of.
Maybe it was his inside knowledge that the England players didn't study the laws -
If Italy had managed to keep the scoreline close until half-time, it would have been even more effective if they'd adopted the no-contest ruck tactic only in the second half.

@Crucial What ruck, though? My recollection is that the ref had already explicitly stated that there was "tackle only" at that particular breakdown. Not saying it wasn't a penalty, but logically Itoje's can't have been a ruck offence.
