I'm so happy we have Zach Mercer in Montpellier. We owe him a lot on our first ever French championship title. He's such an insanely good player.
How’s he only got two caps for England flipping hell been so consistent
I've just seen him in the final and WOW
Eddie Jones should take the blinkers off. Get rid of the mug. That team doesn't win anything anymore
Perhaps the training should be assessed in joint with stricter performance fitness tests along with current form and availability .
Instead of simmonds, dombrant or mercer, he played curry at 8 for for while!! Eddie is way past his sell By date! Wasting precious time with him!!
yet he has the highest win % of any England coach....ok buddy
@@argyledart85 I was the biggest Eddie Jones apologist. He is past his sell by date and some of his selections are baffling.
You clearly don't understand why he did it. Numbers on backs make no difference. He did it to bring in an extra 2nd row in laws.
Incredible how backwards people are with rugby
Maybe few years ago but not now!! England win rate in six nations (minus Italy) in the last two seasons 20%. He played our best 7 at 8 for a while leaving out, simmonds the top premiership ( a number 8!) scorer and European player of the year, maybe the best 8 dombrant, to play a 7 at 8???? Furbank started at 10 a while back before any of our Specialist 10’s?? Then starts furbank at 15 to put Freddie on the bloody wing!!! Picks daly, furbanks, youngs no mater how old and shite they are, while leaving fantastic players/talent out every squad??? Doesn’t play two natural wingers?? His win rate and selections are woeful! Stop this nonsense now! There’s no credit for him as Woodward won it so by peoples account let’s get him back then as he actually won it!!
@@ph5849 his win rate is still top notch - so he must know sth. Managed to knock over SA and Oz in the autumn which most of his haters seem to forget.
I can see this guy seeing out his contract and coming back to England as an absolute weapon.
Yes he's in glouster next year. Shhhhh dont tell to many
Sorry he has one more year with montpellier but has signed with glouster which made him eligible for world cup. Eddie Jones set this up with him
This aged well!
Another huge EJ mistake letting this guy get a whiff of the French lifestyle
Mate he's started to hit form at the right time. EJ can only select so many. Plus he had Billy V at his disposal as one of the best 8s in the world at one point
may i ask why is it bad if he got a whiff of the french lfiestyle
@@charliejones7830 The RFU ruled against players who play club Rugby overseas being selected for the national team.
@@charliejones7830 he will never leave France now
Come back to Bath! 😭
Zac top man top player !!
It’s madness that quality players are ‘excluded’ from selection for England because they don’t play in the premiership 👎
No disagree. Other countries do it successfully. Mercer is a fine player.. but there are better in England.
@@IverKnackerov my comment was a general one as I’m sure there are others who show promise but thanks for your comment👍
It’s their choice. They know the rules.
I don’t know about “madness” but I would agree it’s wrong. I understand the given reason is that it is to try and keep players from going abroad but it seems to me that almost every player would benefit from spending a season or two in another country. It would be difficult to play in NZ and be picked for England whilst out on the other side of the world but France?
Nobody could claim that English clubs are the best in Europe; out of the top 10 teams in Europe, how many English clubs would get in? 1? 2? Of course, some of that is the salary cap which, as Alex Sanderson said, is also a ceiling on talent and achievement. I watched Leinster yesterday and saw a team of individuals working as a real team. The quality of the coaching that goes on combined with talent, has resulted in a team performing better than any other I can remember - certainly in Europe. Props showing excellent distribution skills and not just head down into contact; forwards producing clean ball from a ruck in 1 second time after time; a back line with a great balance of invention and set moves; a scrum half who, I think, is just as good if not better than Dupont. I’ve no doubt that money comes into retaining that squad but getting the best out of any squad is down to coaching and the will of the players.
Eddie Jones is going next year and I have come to agree that many of his decisions were absolutely spot on bit he is a guy who makes decisions about players and that is it for them - play well or badly, it seems to make no difference. The new coaching team have to be different. Stuart Lancaster seems to be the main coaching influence at Leinster and I can have nothing but praise for him after I thought he was out of his depth in 2015. Sean Edwards - best defensive coach in the world? Who should be head coach? I’ve always admired Richard Cockerill’s attitude but is he a man manager? Rob Baxter? Steve Borthwick? The list of English people who have proven themselves over a few seasons seems very small.
Fine....he won the France player of the year. Name an English 8 who is better.
Dombrant 6 Mercer 8 Curry 7 Mercer is a specialist 8
No Simmons?
@@dgoodall was thinking exactly the same like Simmons miles ahead of dombrant and can play 6/7/8
No Dombrandt at 8 he has better hands and size, Mercer could play a Tom Croft role at 6
@@charlespc8855 dombrant ain’t ahead of Simmons! But like the Tom Croft mention tho mercer would easily be able to do so
@@mrmrmusic123 Dombrandt had Covid, and he's better all round in the lineout, linking, breakdown and offloading which is better than just being a good open field runner
The real question is when are we gonna get the milk challenge?!
He will be in glouster next season...
Ryan Wilson has a really odd Scottish accent. I can’t put my finger on what part of Scotland it’s from.
Really, really, southern part.
He's about as Scottish as Jim Hamilton.
The part where he couldn't get a game for England. That part.
Ryan Wilsons whole family are Scottish and he was brought up Scottish by his Glaswegian Dad.
@@guyportersfootstep4553 So...50%
de l'au is 'of water' so yeah if you're asking for 'of water' it wont help, maybe un verre d'au for a glass of water and you'll keep hydrated big man, you may get that move back to the prem
No point in Mercer to Quins, Dombrandt is filling the shirt well! Total rugby at Saints who are without a notable and settled no.8...
This hasn't aged well. Dombrandt has definitely not filled that No. 8 shirt. The good news is he's signed for Gloucester.
How do you know it was honest?!
i bet he is regretting his change (minus his partners future) to sign for bath vs a nice french contract since he is not with steve bogan bortwick, he will do worse then 2016 squad even in an easier group!
EJ is the problem - but not the only one.
yeah like dombrandt is handing over the 8 gtfo
he got fed again go back to france! the paycheck vs partners issue will pay for flights! better yet play for scotland as eligible and beat england!
What England need is for players to stay and fight for their place. Not go off for. A quick buck. The primary role of domestic rugby is to produce players for England. We have far too many foreign players playing in the premiership depriving the development of young players. Also if we allow players who play in other leagues then our domestic rugby will die. All the good players will go off for the bucks leaving our domestic game with non international standard players. Who would want to pay to watch low standard rugby.
Try getting no call for et couple of years and then look at the lifestyle in Montpellier and the money. He’s young a-enough that’ll he’ll come back to the uk in the next year or so and be in the reckoning. Eddie’s been out to France twice to see him
I don't get this rule that the clubs have to just do everything for England if you want that remove relegation so that you wont have players going down and they can focus on development eg Ireland NZ, the beauty of the premiership is that every game counts as you don't want to get relegated and the clubs first job are to win rugby games with the best players that they have available to them and choose how they want to play them
Love these lads. Quinns for Mercer
