[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1056020, member: 56232"] I'd like whoever is our next coach to actually deal with the glaring weaknesses of English rugby that prevent us being more successful rather than same old same old. - Discipline - Been in the toilet for years and good discipline is the exception rather than the rule. Most games our penalty count is worse than our opposition, even against T2 teams and in nearly always in double figures. It's just not acceptable. - Lack of adaptability - When things don't go to plan, England have rarely shown an ability to adapt, both in attack and defence. It is so frustrating watching the opposition pulling of identical moves over and over with the same level of success because nobody is willing to adjust the tactics to counter a weakness the opposition have clearly spotted and are targeting. Likewise on the flip side when we keep trying the same thing in attack even when it's clearly not working (in particularly our completely stubborn adherence to a heavy kicking game even if we are very clearly losing the kicking game, such as against Wales last time we played.) Also a little tidbit. Wales (x2) France and Scotland have all set record highest points scored against England under Jones. We are leaking points like crazy these days. [/QUOTE]
