One Thing We Know About Stephen Jones
The guy’s a complete plonker.
Either that or a comedian like Rhys Darby who specialises in being funny by not being funny if you get what I mean.
His latest epistle is Ten Things We’ve Learnt From the Autumn Tests.
The funny thing is that he continues to deny that he’s got the game he’s always wanted.
Jones usually bleating about the ABs just looks plain silly after the ABs whupped the Froggies:
Even dynamic New Zealand were often pedestrian.
Some footpaths then.
Still, the same old same old:
6 New Zealand do not look the World Cup winners in waiting
They may have thrashed a hopeless French team in Marseilles last night but with less then two years to go before the Rugby World Cup, there is no guarantee New Zealand will break what would then be a 24-year drought with no world title. Their results are reasonable but with so many journeymen, it seems likely they will win many games before RWC 2011 and again be overtaken in the closing laps. Graham Henry must be the coach of the autumn. Anyone who can draw a performance from that crew must be a genius.
No one down here is saying that it is a vintage AB team. Yet such a poor AB team (as stated by Jones) is still good enough to beat all their Northern opponents without letting in a single try. Two years in row.
And Matt Giteau beats Dan Carter to the first five position for the team of the autumn.
