A lack of freedom and adaptability in Eddie Jones’s gameplan allowed Wales to emerge victorious in Cardiff
The truth shall set you free. As a coach I have thought a lot about the Wales-England game in the last round of the Six Nations and in particular, England’s lack of a Plan B. In itself, Plan B is a bit of an untidy phrase. Like an “in case of emergency, smash the glass” kind of plan. That wasn’t what England lacked. It wasn’t an emergency when the tactics needed to change, just a need to adjust their bearings and find space and opportunity somewhere else to gain back the momentum.
