Id say if Smith and Ford are unavailable through injury...Farrell moves to 10, Dan Kelly is the obvious choice for 12...then probably Slade v Lawrence at 13. Maybe Will Joseph in the outer squad.This is more me wondering who will come in if both Marcus and Ford aren't fit by the time the 6N rolls around
Agreed.tbf if he'd said we were I'd think he'd lost the plot already
Oh im sure Borthwick will be very clear what he wants.
It'll start with set piece solidification, brutal defence, top level work rate and getting the kick chase working again.
Then he'll worry about the attack.
"I wouldn't do anything differently". Kind of sums it up.Eddie Jones: Former England coach wants another international job
Eddie Jones says he wants to continue coaching at international level and has not ruled out the possibility of taking the Australia job.www.bbc.co.uk
Well yeah....EJ is master of a turn around...how can he do that if we're not **** for 3 years before...And we all know the only way to win a game role cup is to be rubbish for 3 years before hand.
He's not exactly made himself any friends in the other British nations or Ireland and, if he lost the changing room, there may even be a fair few in England who don't get on with him.The Lions coach role would probably suit his kind of coaching as well v Australia in 2025.
And did Gatland?He's not exactly made himself any friends in the other British nations or Ireland and, if he lost the changing room, there may even be a fair few in England who don't get on with him.
Gatland for the most part had the support of his own team and didn't really both much with winding up the other nations except England. Unless I'm missing something, the Scots and the Irish dislike Gatland for his Lions decisions (basically not picking enough Scots / dropping O'Driscoll) rather than his actions for Wales and the Lions. All Lions coaches get stick for not picking enough players from country x or not picking player Y. When Gatland had lost all support is when we also played our worst Lions series under him. I just think Jones, if he did it, would come in with a similar level of respect to what Gatland had when he left after the NZ tour.And did Gatland?
Just think his short, sharp style suits a Lions tour. He'll have less time to lose the dressing room. And he knows how to beat the Aussies on their home turf.
Performed to expectations no reason to blame him on the Irish curse.But will Farrell have the same shine when Ireland exit at the QFs next year?
