[QUOTE="The Jones Boy, post: 790781, member: 70721"] I picked this from the get go. England had three away games and people were saying it was too hard to expect them to win a slam with the itinerary they had... but away to Scotland was likely, away to Italy was nailed on, and since Ireland beat France a few months back in their group game and then the All Blacks slaughtered them in a RWC record breaking defeat for the knock out stages, we knew France were going to be very average. The two home games were against the tougher opponents, Ireland, who have dropped their level with retirements and injuries, and Wales, who Gatland has too tightly on a leash. This was very do-able and I am not surprised England have a slam under their belt. Congratulations to the ERU for making the change to bring in Eddie Jones. His man management skills Congratulations to Jones and his kiwi captain Dylan Hartley who has shown how much is possible when your captain makes the 'right decisions' at the right time. However, I can't see any of the 6 teams offering much challenge to the big southern hemisphere powerhouse rugby nations. The Wallabies are going to give England a torrid time, that will stand England in good stead for the next RWC as this young team develops. [/QUOTE]
