Is this the best England Rugby team since 2003?

For sure. If they can win the World Cup too is another question.

@Burnley123: Yes, true. It did not hurt that they could pay far more than the Stormers could and that the Japanese Rugby Union pissed off Jones who originally wanted to stay with Japan until the 2019 RWC.

@Mugin16: Interesting info and thanks for that. I still think that England underachieve generally as a Rugby nation. Given our money and player base we should be competing at the very top regularly. Not rung behind Australia and at the same level as Wales and Ireland, which is where we have been for most of the last fourteen years. Jones is getting the maximum out of what he has but I worry that it is an over-achievement. Coaching and youth development still lags behind the best in the world.

@Burnley123: True enough but in the end you end about 30 excellent players to be a top rugby team. In England rugby is also the sport of a minority. In NZ, Wales and the Afrikaner community in South Africa they get every talented young lad because everybody plays rugby. There and only there rugby union is the national game.

@thatscottishguy: Sorry lol. Wrong paste. That was meant for Randy. Maybe I told that right wing american dumb ass that he cared about the Scottish rugby team last week. 😂

Are they the champions?

Yes we've just put 60 points past Scotland and won the Six Nations with a game to spare.

IMO The All Blacks are definitely the world's best teams though.
@Burnley123: I lost the plotter a bit :/
