Fra will be really embarrassed to have lost to Eng.

Fra will be really embarrassed to have lost to Eng.

Damned, every year there is a mediocre team that decides to overachieve against us
At least, if we do not lose both remaining games with more than 20 points each, we'll end up ahead of England

No none of my ancestors have been to prison

They went to the land down under

I'm 1.5km away from the stadium and the smell of Genge is honestly rank.

That use to be our curse now we are the mediocre team.

Anyone know how many minutes Robson played at FH vs. how many minutes he played at SH this 6N?

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Made another table as I already had the Italy one:



Some key points:

- This is the first 6N EVER that England have finished with a negative points difference.
- First loss at home to Scotland since 1983
- Record largest points conceded to Wales
- We were also on course for the record loss to Ireland there until the red card.
- The fainter line is the 4 year rolling average. Tellingly, from 2020 (where the average only covers years where Jones has been in charge), the PD has plunged and from 2016 where he had his first contribution to it, it has only risen once. England under Jones are gradually shipping more and more points.

There are no excuses that can be made about how we are practicing our attacking shapes, that was an all round **** fest. Jones has now overseen our worst and 3rd worst ever 6N and that was with probably the most talent England have had since 2003. 2nd worst was 2007 where the country was devoid of talent anyway.

Also if I ever get the motivation, I may put together a 6N team database for all your argument statistical needs.

He played a fair of the Welsh game I think when we thought we'd finally seen the back of Youngs.....

I honestly feel.so bad for Johnny. You're not getting that smell out of your nostrils for weeks.

Let me enjoy this Irish win in peace without making me get out my British passport

 

[ncurd]

God even Clive Woodward is talking sense.

Put that dirty yoke away

 

[MikeTheNative]

God even Clive Woodward is talking sense.

Is this one of the signs of the apocalypse?

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Put that dirty yoke away

It's well and truly away... until we lose again

 

[ncurd]

Is this one of the signs of the apocalypse?

Well it was the 70's the last time we lost to all the home nations.
