So if you know that, why doesn't Eddie Jones?

I have no idea. The area where Wales are weak is in the line-out - they lost two of their own line-outs today. If I'd been England coach, I'd have encourage to kick deep to touch, guessing that Wales would lose possession a few more times.

Not just the kicking but our entire game plan is floored as we have no plan b and we did not turn up for the second half. Think us at Fulham this season.

If only it was floored instead of hoofed up into the stratosphere.

Flawed.

Did it though? Neither of the English scores came from a long kick. The try came from England putting pressure on a Welsh maul. Williams et al gathered every kick with ease

fair point, gained terriority though. agree rather odd not to put into touch more given the Welsh weakness there.

Can't defend that. Bloody awful by us and a non spectacle overall, the All Blacks must be having a right laugh if this is the best the northern hemisphere can produce.

That second half was the most tedious half of rugby England have played for months. Predictable and ineffective rubbish.

Bit of an arrogant statement mate, England are not the best side in the Northern Hemisphere!

Why arrogant? Made it quite clear we aren't good enough in this sphere. If you think there is a team to take on the All Blacks please feel free to name them.

Well Ireland beat them the game before last and England were only beaten by a point the game before that.
