Eddie Jones can have no excuses for this defeat. He tried to be clever with his selection and it didn’t come off. With the talent and depth that England have, finishing third in the Six Nations is simply not good enough.
The coaching team has plenty to answer for. I imagine Jones will have some very uncomfortable conversations with the RFU over the next few days.
Some of the selection calls have been baffling. There’s no consistency. Why does Jones keep changing the spine of the team? You don’t see Jurgen Klopp tinkering with the core of his team when Liverpool have a big game.
