Eddie Jones confirms new additions to England coaching team ahead of Six Nations

1. there are basically 6 leagues with a total of 80 clubs where a player can make a living out of his passion .... gives space for roughly around 2'500 jobs worldwide

2. France is way ahead in professionalism (within rugby), which is doesn't come as a surprise, bearing in mind, rugby in the "commonwealth-world" having been regarded as a white collar sport for gentlemen, not having to bother in finding a job to cater for their lifestyle, whereas in France it's a grassroots sport

It’s the main reason we’re not beating the big teams anymore.

We need mounga, … and procter.

Happy New Year btw😁

And is there any real point in going back to George Ford as an England starter now, at the age of 31?

It wasn't a Smith decision then, and if you even bother to read this article, you'll see its not a Smith decision now.

It is indeed an anti Finn idea idea. He doesn't want to use those players.

This is about improving the team even further, not doing something for Smith as you suggest.

Gatland might not be worth whatever he's getting paid, but if you're still not getting the same elsewhere for half of that they've got to pay what they need to pay. It's as simple as that. The problem is theres no indication theyre going to lay down some ground work for the next bunch. I thought it ridiculous the comment I heard that Gatland has to deliver a trophy next season, when it shouldn't be able that at all.

They're only going to get out of this by investing in the game, and that means spending money, which is about the only credit they get out of this decision.
