Eddie Jones has six months to fix England’s fatal flaw

There was a time when Eddie Jones cheerfully defied all logic and faithfully helped his audience nod.

Transform from the worst performing World Cup hosts of all time to Grand Slam winners within one year. Jones & # 39; England overloaded; as his words did. Those days are over.

After participating in a World Cup, he was specifically working to win, England no longer performing. Six Nations in second place.

It could be said that the best team on the

Yet it is Wales, often functional, yet exemplary when it is there mattered, who ran away with the third The property right of Grand Slam or Warren Gatland.

Ireland may have peaked too early for Japan and it is Wales, not England, that will travel to the east later this year.

England did it four times in five games, but crumbled at key moments.

England did it four times in five games, but crumbled at key moments.

Gatland gets a dent from Wales that Jones, for all his compelling rhetoric, cannot draw from England.

So it was a problem that I could not solve in three and a half years, but could be sorted in six months?

& # 39; I'm going to have the players for three months, and I've never experienced that before & # 39 ;, Jones said cheerfully. And it was time that we would buy that. He was, after all, Fast Eddie. He has done things.

But 31-0 up, down 31-38 down, is not a short-term repair.

& # 39; You do that in a pool game against Tonga and you could find yourself in a difficult position, & # 39; said Jones.

I don't know what to do.

Jones exudes confidence. That is his style. And when results support him, it's a winning combination. It may seem slippery at other times.

I have identified a mountain of a problem with England and then discussed it as if it were a molehill; one that can be scaled with the addition of another guru to his team, although he would not mention names. He is close to Gareth Southgate, who calls on Pippa Grange to help his players cope with the pressure of tournaments, and in particular penalties, before the 2018 World Cup. A comparable figure, certainly female, perhaps Antipodean, would make sense to be.

And a good job, something because this weekend had been driven from Twickenham with burning torches.

They looked at a record score and seasoned Scottish internationals talked about a result that would be difficult

There was no point in giving the same number of points uncontrolled in 25 minutes. Ben Youngs said he couldn't get around it, and that he was by no means alone.

While Gatland has found ways to make Wales win, even on days when they can be little more than efficient – although they were brilliant on Saturday against Ireland – England continues to find ways to disappoint, as happened during the Worldcup.

When the results support Jones' confidence, it is a winning combination; otherwise the glibl may seem

& # 39; When you have a difficult tournament or game, there is always a dragging process & # 39 ;, he said. & # 39; I'll tell you how it is: you have some grenades in the back of the jeep and sometimes they go off under pressure.

& # 39; We have a few and we just have to lose them. It's the way you think you're under pressure and the team has probably had it since the 2015 World Cup. We've been working on a process to fix it and I think we'll do well. But it takes time.

& # 39; Wales are going through a very good trot, but we have had a trot and we still had the problem even when we won 18 games in a row.

& # 39; Everyone goes through this. I remember coaching against the All Blacks. We won something like 45 percent of our tests against them and always in the last 20 minutes of the game.

& # 39; Now we don't have eight years, but we've had four and we're still learning. So we're gonna do it in half the time it took the All Blacks.

He is right. New Zealand won the inaugural world championship in 1987 and no longer until 2011. It was until 2015 the best rugby nation in the world to win the tournament on foreign soil.

Wales was under enormous pressure in Cardiff on Saturday, but from the opening minutes the win over Ireland was not in doubt.

Gatland, again, found a way – just like the British and Irish coach last summer Lions in New Zealand.

So what's the difference between these unstable? What is the difference between these unstable?

Youngs refuted Jones's theory of pressure to come to England in place of individual mention in the back of Jones & jeep and, disturbing against Scotland, no more than his captain Owen Farrell – and old-fashioned human error

& # 39; I I do not agree at all that we cannot handle the pressure, & # 39; he said.

Jones says he can solve England's fatal mistake in six months; but then he says many things

& # 39; If the game gets too tight, all you have to do is work. If you carry the ball, decide whether you want to release it or not, whether you take a quick throw or not; you are responsible.

& # 39; So I don't think it's busy, I think we need to have more insight into where the momentum of the game is and what we want, what we're about, to go back to the base.

& # 39; A few defense points, a few points in an attack, put our hat on it and let's do it, let's own our roles and take our responsibility. Many of these are individual decisions and part of it was really disappointing, only mental errors.

& # 39; Would the game have been tighter before some of those things? Absolutely not. We've got stuck in that circus of trying to throw it around, and we aren't.

But England is a better side than a year ago. At their best, they played the best rugby in the tournament. The problem with their fatal error is that it is elusive. It is not something that can be coached or drilled. It is what Jones calls the top two centimeters.

He says he can fix it in six months; but then he says many things.
