You must believe at this point you got the selections of the first two games wrong.
Now, if Jack Crowley started in Paris, would he have beaten the French?
Unlikely, to be fair.
France were on a different level.
I don't think Jack would have fixed that.
Would it certainly cost at home probably more comfortably against Italy?
And you saw the pain we inflicted on the English.
So by any metric as a coach, I would say he got that completely wrong.
Those first two selections.
And it goes back to the fact that in his head, and this is a title thing to do.
He's the head coach.
He has to make the tough calls.
He really backed Sam.
He thought Sam was the man.
There was grounds for that.
We were all on the same boat, really.
We thought, Sam, he's a special talent.
He'll come right.
But it didn't work out.
So sometimes you put your hand and say, got that wrong.
