"Absolute disaster" - Eddie Jones' England flops

But not all of them came off…

We take a look at some of those players Jones called up since taking over in December 2015, and using the Aussies own words we try to understand why they never established themselves as fans once hoped.

It was a toss up between Harrison and his former teammate Luther Burrell to kick off this list. Both belittled and embarrassed by the Aussie, it felt like the New Zealand back-rower had so much more to give then his five underwhelming caps suggest.

Wait, we know what you're thinking. Armand was one of the finest players in the Gallagher Premiership for almost a decade with Exeter Chiefs, but the way he was used by Eddie Jones ultimately made him a flop on the international stage. Ultimately underused and undervalued.

Who? A wildcard pick for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, McConnochie's two unforgettable caps failed to deliver the excitement and flair that England fans were looking for from the Olympic Sevens Silver Medalist.

It all started so well with a match-winning try on his debut against Argentina. Poor performances, binge drinking and a bad attitude ensured it was a complete disaster from then on in.

Jones wrote his autobiography: "When a player consistently does stupid things, you don't expect him to change much. Players make choices and they have to live with the consequences.

“I was willing to see what Cipriani could do – despite often feeling frustrated because even the rugby reporters wanted to talk about him more than any other player.

“From Danny’s perspective his cause was done more damage when he played for Gloucester against Saracens. It was billed as a showdown between Farrell and Cipriani, but it was no contest. Saracens and Farrell were dominant. It was very disappointing.”

RUCK VERDICT: The most talented player of a generation, Cipriani would have won over 50 caps for almost any other country. A special player who will hopefully be back on the pitch soon after leaving Gloucester.

Playing for England over 210 minutes in his four caps thus far, Lawrence has made one kick, two passes, nine runs for a total of five metres, and 20 tackles. It's been very disappointing.

Jones said: "It's been disappointing for him and us so far.

"Scotland was a difficult game for Ollie, but he’s a young guy who is learning his trade. This is all part of learning his trade.

It's impossible to deny that his England career so far has been disappointing, with him missing out on the matchday 23 to face Italy being the latest setback.

Sad. Clifford should have been an England captain but was ultimately forced to retire far too early at the age of 27 last August.

RUCK VERDICT: To think he played over 100 games for Harlequins and 10 games for England in an eight-year career where he was effectively injured for four years shows how valued he was by anyone who coached him. Simply unlucky.

Jones said: “Graham reminds me a bit of Robshaw so he’s not an out and out seven but he’s a good tough boy. He’s got a nice demeanour about him, [and is] hungry, so very impressive.”

Ultimately, the back-rower went onto play for Scotland instead.
