Blues’ Fardy: Eddie takes presure off his players
It was uploaded by Fuso to YouTube in July a year ago but has only come to light before Saturday’s final round of the 2018 Six Nations when England face Ireland at Twickenham.
However, should England do to Ireland what the Irish did to them, they would not only prevent a grand slam but could haul themselves up to second, depending on the Wales v France result. But they will be hoping they can return the favour, and spoil a potential Grand Slam party.
“We have picked a team and a squad we believe can deliver this weekend against France”.
“That eight minutes after half-time today totally summed up this team”, Schmidt said. “We’ve talked about it for two weeks”.
It looks like Eddie Jones is eating his words for dinner tonight.
“The guys owe it to themselves first and foremost, but also to our crowd and our general support”.
“We know we are not where we want to be but the aim is to be by Japan”.
“It’s always tough after a Lions tour, where they had so many involved and then not having a break when they got back”.
“It’s all growth for the team, every setback, every disappointment”.
“We just chose to change the order of the game, so Sinckler is going to start the game instead of Dan Cole”, added Jones.
“Wales coach Warren Gatland said England could be looking at six on the bounce – that wasn’t a throwaway line”.
Wales coach Warren Gatland heaped pressure on Eddie Jones as he suggested England were at risk of losing six games in a row.
The English RFU said it would apologise to the sport’s ruling bodies in Ireland and Wales and a spokesperson described Jones’s comments as “inappropriate”. “It’s not often that happens in the Six Nations”.
Now Jones is considering an attacks coach in his coaching team after handling this part of the preparations himself. “We will prove that on Saturday”.
The New Zealander was especially pleased Saturday by a defensive effort masterminded by defence coach Andy Farrell – the father of England fly-half Owen.
“I’d say our forwards are angry and I’d say they’re competitive as well. Three million!” he said.
“We have to play a certain way against Ireland”.
“We took Don to Argentina. It’s about the way we carry the ball and our speed to the breakdown”.
In the aftermath of Saturday’s loss, Jones warned that some of England’s players would not feature for their country again, while the Australian also suggested that his top performers may also be absent come June.
“Adaption is important”, said Hatley.
