The Rugby Paper

Five-year first

- Simon Morris

I HAVEN’T missed a Rugby Paper for five plus years and seeing the team Eddie Jones picked for the Italy game prompted me to write in for the first time.

I predicted poor Mark Wilson would be the scapegoat. Why hasn’t Jones been booted out? Two Vunipolas, Ben Youngs, Owen Farrell and George Ford are all past their sell buy dates. Then there’s Elliot Daly who’s consistent­ly delivered nothing!

You’ve got a star of the moment in Max Malins on the bench which makes it even worse! Is there an English fan out there who is excited by the way England play or the team Jones consistent­ly picks?
