come on shire Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 That's 6 defeats in a row for England (5 in a row if you're Eddie Jones) including defeat in the series. Then the All Blacks come to Twickers in November. It seemed like just yesterday Eddie was calling them out for a match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 England getting beat again.. Eddie Jones will be in bother You would have to think his jacket must be on a shoogly peg by now. Hopefully a battering by the All Blacks in the autumn sees him binned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, barring the defeat vs Ireland in Dublin, when they still won the 6N title, they were on a great run. The losing streak started only earlier in the year when Scotland beat them (feeling a bit smug now tbh lol). So close to a world cup where he still has Autumn tests, next year's 6N and next summer's warm-ups to get things right, wouldn't sacking him be a football-esque knee-jerk reaction?

afca32 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I have absolutely no idea but I find it hard to believe England have lost 6 games (definitely 6) in a row very often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounded very angry on 5live earlier, having a go at the interviewer for being aggressive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I have absolutely no idea but I find it hard to believe England have lost 6 games (definitely 6) in a row very often. Their 1972 wooden spoon topped off a run of 7 test defeats although one of those was a test against an all star “President’s XV” at Twickenham (17 Apr 1971) which was a celebration of the centenary of the RFU https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England_v_President%27s_Overseas_XV That run started with a Scottish win at Twickenham but the previous game was a tie at home to France so it was 8 tests without a win 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Just like last weekend Wales are totally bossing Argentina who have offered little and given away penalties like sweeties. Anything less than a win for Scotland on this evidence on Fri night will be disappointing tbh... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I never understand why rugby teams go on after 80 minutes with no chance of winning. Or even worse on this occasion when Wales could just have ended the game but chose to go to the corner for another try. There is enough chance of getting injured in 80 minutes why play on for a meaningless score. Also lol at the red card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time playing after 80min if you can't win is for points difference in group/league games. The only knock out games that make sense is during the World Sevens Series as points difference is used as the tie breaker is teams finish with the same number of points 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 In RWC qualification German beat Portugal and will play Samoa over 2 legs(30th June in Samoa 14th July in Germany) . The winner joins us in group A and the loser enters the repechage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time they officially lost 6 in a row was the run you mentioned: http://www.rugbydata.com/england/mostlossesinarow/ That site says the lost 6 in a row in 2014, but I only make it 5 (4 of those were NZ): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_England_national_rugby_union_team_results_2010–19#2014 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
