@crucial BBC is starting to hint at concern
"Jones has often got quick improvements from teams he has taken over. He hasn't always been able to sustain it. There is a reason why he has never lasted more than four years in one job."

an unwanted record...and a shitty headline.

The expected Stephen Jones roast in the Times was funny. He (of course) blamed NZ and Oz rugby for convincing everyone that the game should be played fast and with ball movement. His solution is for England to stop trying to play and just put their heads down and bash.

I actually find it a disgusting article and headline. He's an international, a good player in a team that may be the weakest in the 6 Nations and no. 14 in the world rankings, but reaching 133 test caps is a huge achievement nevertheless. He deserves respect, not rubbish like this.

There's a growing controversy surrounding an incident involving Cian Healy
He didn’t undergo a HIA and returned to play in the second-half. Ireland went on to win the game, before being crowned Six Nations Champions a few hours later following England’s loss to France in the Stade de France.

Come on Scotland! Get him to the milestone in style !
Italy are lucky that Scotland have been pretty dire particularly in the mid 2000s when it was always an entertaining scrap for bottom place. In saying that they've still picked up 13 wooden spoons in 18 years.
They've brought precisely 3 5ths of 5 8ths of fuck all to the tournament as a whole.

Money . They bought money to tournament. That it though, they’ve bought fuck all else.
The Ferald having a cheap shot? There’s a surprise.
