The stat that shows ‘how s***’ England have been in 2022

A stat sheet has gone viral on social media has gone a long way to explaining why so many English rugby fans are losing patience with Eddie Jones.

Despite winning their summer tour of Australia 2-1, the men in white had another underwhelming Six Nations and have struggled to impress once again during the Autumn Nations Series.

A stat that has gone viral this week is tier one nations ‘tries per game’ with England sitting second bottom ahead of Wales.

However, that means England have scored less tries per game than the likes of Italy, Japan and the old enemy Scotland.

England have scored less tries per game than Japan and Italy in 2022.

Reacting to the stats, one fan wrote: “Never has their been a clearer indication that Jones has to go,”

A second commented: “I thought we were boring, but this proves it,”

A third replied: “The proof has been obvious to see for years now,”
