Rugby World Cup Final Eddie Jones HC also recognizes complete defeat on November 3 at 0:15
In the final of the Rugby World Cup, England did not break the hard defense of South Africa and ended without a try, and it has not won since 2003. Eddie Jones Head Coach acknowledged the complete defeat, "Sometimes the cause of the loss is not known. South Africa was too good."
England has won the tournament with a variety of tactics from the double command towers of George Ford and Owen Farrell, as well as traditional physical strength and tight defense.
And in the semi-finals, we won the New Zealand aiming for the third consecutive victory of the tournament, raised the world ranking to the first place, and went to the final with South Africa.
As Jones Head coach told NHK's interview, “We know that South Africa will do. It will be a physical battle,” both teams will have a series of intense offense and defense from kick attacks. However, Prop Kyle Sinkler was replaced by a concussion in the first 3 minutes. Immediately after that, the first scrum of this game was suddenly pushed into South Africa, and it was inferior.
After the match, Jones Head coach regretted that the change of the Sinkler players had to be dealt with, "I had to deal with it, but it had a big impact. It became a difficult scrum."
In the second half of the year, however, England also struck down by scoring a penalty from Scrum. However, if we decided, we lost the 15-minute penalty goal, which was a three-point difference, and lost the current flow.
Jones Head coach said, “We had to break through the situation in the second half, but we couldn't catch the chance. This ultimately influenced the outcome of the game,” said one of the causes.
In this game, England's ball retention rate was 56%, which exceeded that of South Africa, but the distance traveled with the ball was 173 meters, less than half of South Africa, and it was difficult to move forward before defending the iron wall. .
After the game, Jones Head coach admitted the complete defeat, "Sometimes we don't know the cause of the loss. It was.
It has been four years since England was defeated in the first league as the host country for the first time. Jones Head Coach, who was entrusted with rebuilding the team as England's first foreign manager, successfully led the World Cup final.
When a silver medal was awarded for the achievement at the award ceremony, a great cheer came out from the venue.
However, the appearance of removing the medal immediately after getting off the podium oozed the regret of the commander who did not reach the top one more step.
