We English must honour the man whose appointment turned a team (and virtually the same team) from disgraced World Cup losers to deserved Six Nations winners, in a matter of weeks.
Well done Eddie Jones, well done – Australian – Eddie Jones and, take note you one-eyed nationalists who expressed doubt and displeasure at his appointment, that success like failure knows neither prejudice nor national boundary.
We must not get carried away with our success however since all England have done is to win rugby union’s second division and we are still a long way behind the world’s best – at the moment.
Having said that, I never thought I’d see the day when an Australian would make me proud to be an Englishman. That day arrived on Saturday, March 19th, 2016. Thank you Eddie!
