FAO all the Aussie Rugby fans

From the mouth of Eddie Jones

"It's ridiculous. They are playing in howling wind and pouring rain and people expect them to shift the ball about," said Jones."It doesn't matter how much you train, you cannot play running rugby in those conditions. You have to play for field position and they did that expertly. The
way they controlled the game was first-class.

"To suggest that style is boring is quite rude to the team and disrespectful to rugby in general.

"The great thing about rugby is that you can play it different ways and when you have got different weather conditions you do have to be able to play it different ways.

"England have shown they have the ability to play different styles of rugby. They can play with great width and they did that against us in June, or they can play field position.

So shut up moaning about the way we play

yeah, like he was gonna say,

"England play boring Rugby - all they do is kick drop goals and penalties, no running game.. it obvious we will win because of that"

Sure, why not add more fuel to the fire.. make himself a real hero.

Idiot.

In good conditions you only managed 1 breakaway try from a shocking NZ pass along the line, the rest of your points were penalties, woop de fucking do, that's entertainment at it's pinnacle if I ever saw it!

The English are the first to accuse Germany of having a boring football team but won't have any of it when it comes to Rugby...

Oh the hypocrisy!

Italy are renowned for their defensive skills, not their attacking style. So yea, defensive is boring yet its still effective!

If Eddie Jones had just wanted to be cool on the subject he would have touched on it slighty. Point is every word is true and coz ppl hate our GREAT team, then they wonna put us down lol. We aint in the final for nothing!

I am a huge premier league fan, but i think that Serie A has a higher standard generally....
