England Exposes the All Blacks and Chris Jones Doesn’t Hold Back
Manage episode 519841332 series 3656866
When you ask a Northern Hemisphere rugby man what’s going on with the All Blacks, you know you’re going to get the unvarnished version. And Chris Jones delivers exactly that. England’s comeback at Twickenham wasn’t a one off to him. It was a pattern New Zealand keeps repeating, and he can’t believe we still haven’t learned how to close out a game.
We talk through the recurring issues: losing momentum, basic skill errors, yellow cards, a forward pack going missing after halftime, and a coaching group Razor admits is still “learning on the job.” Chris can’t fathom that at this level. Neither can we.
He also looks at leadership gaps, and why the All Blacks look anything but sure of themselves after 12 tests this year. From Argentina’s guts, to South Africa thriving with 14 men, to Wales’ struggles, he gives us the full Northern picture.
Plus, Belgium are one win away from a Rugby World Cup. Yes, really.
