England vs USA - 4th July 2021

[LE18]

In today's Telegraph Sport, Marcus Smith reports that Eddie allows him to play like he does at Quins! So Eddie does not instil kicking into his FHs.??? Not what I perceive of Jones, early days.

I would say that's just for this series tbf,unless it says otherwise

Eddie did release his attack coach at the end of the 6N.

Lets hope that means less kicking and a bit more flair.

Can't see it,Eddie's always said the number of phases you are likely to get turned over in is much less than at domestic level and he said if nothing is on within the first few the team is instructed to kick. That's out of the horses mouth,although not word for word that was the jist of it.
And regardless of who the attack coach there is absolutely no doubt that Eddie is setting the gameplan

[Old Hob]

Perhaps, in the face of evidence, (The last 6N for example) Eddie's changed his mind. I know "U turns" are a criminal offence in the media but the rational still change their minds in the light of new information.

Let's hope so! We will know soon enough when we see what MF is picked for the AIs.

Despite Smith assertion that he was allowed to play the Quins way he did but only in certain areas of the pitch. Eddie wasn't promoting a play from your own tryline approach we've seen from Quins previously. Particularly at WR when they wasted a 15 on 13 spell messing around in their own 22.

Eddie may well change some of his tactics but there will still be an emphasis on playing in the opposition's half rather than your own.

Waste of time having one,be better off having Neil Jenkins sneaking up behind players and following them around while they are constantly kicking
Always creeps me out when he's hanging around behind LHP while he's about to kick

LHP

Left Hand Post?
Loose Head Prop?

Leigh Halfpenny,he's like a creepy relative hanging around him.

can't even get your acronyms right. I can just about accept MF can be midfield (as well as Mike Ford) even though its one word, but to use HP for Halfpenny is bordering on insulting IMHO.

What about L1/2P? 🤪

L½P would be better

The sole redeeming factor in favour of either of these is that LH could be confused with Loose Head . Which goes to show that unless an acronym is well known in its context (For example, JVP is quicker than BY) creating them can lead to confusion. This should be obvious from the number of times an explanation is asked for. As there is no constraint on the length of a post, the only reasons to use them are laziness or to cram in more posts in the same amount of time

Anyway, Jenkins does this behind every Welsh kicker, so no need to be specific.

We may well find out how good Smith is now the Lions call up has come.

Shame they haven’t called up Genge too.

Not taking Genge was a ridiculous call,especially in SA. Without even England bias 3 of the first names on the squad sheet for me would’ve been Genge,Sinckler and Underhill! They are exactly the type of players you need against the Bok!
