Eddie Jones

After a fee reported to be £100,000 (peanuts) has been agreed between the RFU and the Stormers, it appears that Eddie Jones is now set to be named new head coach of England.

I have mixed feelings on this. On the one hand he will undoubtedly be an improvement on Lancaster but I really feel we have missed an opportunity to steal a brilliant coach from NZ (Dave Rennie) perhaps due to the ignorance of the RFU board. The policy of selecting an "internationally proven" coach has obviously ruled out a whole bunch of talent that we could have been better off with.

All that said, he will have my backing until he doesn't have it^^

Yeah well you lot still go on about Bannockburn over 700 years later. Your "anthem" does exactly that too.

. Is that your best shot?

Talking of anthems, I sang along with the La Marsaillese when the French round ball team played at Wembley the other night.

Looks like the "Welsh" lock is on his way. Roll out the red carpet.

Actually, I reckon he's quite a good signing, nearly as good as the "Scottish" No. 8.

Average player if you ask me. If you're going to get a skinny lock he has to be pretty exceptional imo, which he isn't. Not worth severely weakening the scrum otherwise.

Skinny

At over 6' 10", he's very tall, but at around 20st, I'd hardly call him skinny - not to his face any way.

I'm told I bear a passing resemblance to Smiffy.

I'm kinda seeing you as 'Erbert.

You're a cheeky one ain't ya, Aragorn is the one I'm always labelled as looking like, even though I have virtually no hair.

Actually, my suave, debonaire silver good looks often lead me to being compared to George C. Looney.

As if.
