‘I watched as fan, it was awful’ – Sir Clive Woodward slams England and blames Eddie Jones for shock loss to Argentina

FORMER England manager Sir Clive Woodward has slammed current boss Eddie Jones and the performance his side put in versus Argentina.

England lost in the Autumn international at Twickenham 29-30 with it being the South American country’s first win over England since 2009.

The shock loss has left fans fuming including 2003 World Cup winning coach Woodward.

Writing in the RFU governing body.

Woodward said: “I was sitting in the stands as a fan on Sunday for the first time in a long while and it was a totally underwhelming and frankly awful experience.

“I hoped for inspiration, I left with an overwhelming sadness and confusion at where the game is heading in England. It was more than a bad day at the office and I had the feeling that few really cared.

“The atmosphere felt artificial and contrived and, to top it off, England’s performance was so bad. Everyone was bored out of their brains.

“There was not a single memorable moment from an England player, nor any sign of innovation, creativity or boldness — it was really poor.

“England were too slow. Eddie Jones is picking and coaching a team that just can’t play fast enough and there is no-one at the RFU who is remotely qualified to hold him to account.

“At every opportunity England slowed the game down. You cannot win doing this and, more importantly, the game is unwatchable.

“I could nit-pick about individuals but the fault here lies with the way they are coached and selected.

“Too many players are being picked out of position. Maro Itoje is not a flanker and Owen Farrell is not a centre.

“I was Eddie’s biggest fan when he first came in but now it feels like he’s just trying to prove people wrong.

“He’s taking on the media, he’s taking on ex-players and it’s caught up with him.

“Someone needs to sit down with him and say, ‘What was that all about? This is just not acceptable’. Eddie needs to start listening.

“Jones and those he supposedly reports to need to wise up and quickly or their legacy will be seen as finishing English rugby.”;

Pressure is building on Jones after a poor Six Nations showing.

The state of English rugby also does not look good as both Wasps and Worcester have been placed in administration.
