[QUOTE="Not Eddie Jones, post: 990015, member: 81025"] But that's the sort of the point... Eddie deliberately plays the media and admits as much. He identified them as the biggest single obstacle to English rugby success when he took the England job. He gets them frothing at the mouth, focussing on him, anything to distract them from the players and the team so that they can get on with their jobs. And it works. But Eddie didn't create the wolfpack that are English sports journalists, he's just dealing with the environment they created long before he arrived in the only way he feels he can. Southgate may be getting a pass at the moment, but Lancaster tried that approach as England manager and soon got mauled. They'll turn on Southgate soon enough. Heck, how many football manages have got sacked for non-results related reasons thanks to our wonderful press? [/QUOTE]
