God damn.

Scotland & Wales have problems. The internationals aren’t going to slow down arriving in Scotland anytime soon.

Wales lost to Italy this morning as well

Eddie walking around Coogee this morning feeling pretty smug.

Then realises he coaches the Wallabies

I think he might be referring to U20s, but it’s easy to see that would be confusing as this thread is mostly test match results

 

[Adam84]

I thought England were supposed to get immediate improvements following Eddies departure, the old man was that bad the solutions were easy?

That was an enjoyable game. France at their best. There is something very wrong with this English team for the amount of talent they supposedly have over there. I don't know what it is, because I see some of the skill these players shows with their club teams, but the sum of the parts is just not working here.

Eddie sold France his notebooks.

Eddie sold France his notebooks.

I'm not sure France needed any notes. There was some real mindset and effort concerns with that game for England. Borthwick is getting a lot of practice with his politician style speaking to the press.

great game this am, Sco v Ire, absolutely brutal defence by both sides in the first half. three australians playing a prominent part, one at least would be very handy down here in Melbourne now.

Was a belter of a game.

Ireland losing so many to injury (and early) and still performing.

Someone has taken Borthwick's loss hard...

Borthwick's simply having some teething issues, 4 games in, obviously still bedding in the new structures... invariably it takes a while to implement (when coming after a coach of Eddie's nature) as the players must first have the destructive ingrained Eddieizim's flushed out of their system's - it's akin to drawing poison from a wound!

Besides - he clearly views this 6 Nation's campaign as merely a training run for the World Cup as England have a great draw and are going to send Eddie's boys packing in the semi's don't ya know??

The Irish machine just keeps rolling on. I feel like that is only really one cog they still haven't entirely worked out... but otherwise they are looking so well coached this team.

Great analysis

Dempsey gets man of the match in a game where Scottish 10 Blair Kinghorn scores a hat-trick of tries. He has a big motor but other than for depth I don't think we are missing him with the genuine points of difference we have at 6/8.

Likewise with Hansen and Tuipulotu, they are classy players that have made big waves over there but wouldn't be in my extended squads for a RWC.
