It so frustrating that he came in and saw the mistakes Lancaster had made and now 2 1/2 years later he's making them himself.
Think it's got to be Lawes and Launchbuy at 4 & 5 vrs Ireland. Give Itoje a break.baring injuries I think you'd have to look along the lines of:1. Vunipola2. Hartley3. Sincler4. Lawes5. Launchbury6. Robshaw7. Underhill8. SimmondsBacks I'd go with:9. Care10. Farrell11. Daly12. T'eo13. Slade14. May15. Watson
Saturday is a huge game in the reign of Eddie Jones. If we fall flat again it's an indication of a major problem.

I think it depends a little, if he makes the same mistakes then I agree, if we lose but there's a clear sign that we're trying to do something different then it's not the end of the world. Losing a few games that force them to refocus on what worked well in 2018 is ok, if it happened in 2019 it would be a disaster, at least now we have time on our side to rebalance things before the World Cup.

They're going to be far more up for it than England that's for sure.
