Gabriel Jesus would be the perfect striker for Arsenal if only he could stay fitwith bronze medals round their necks, as a performance of great heart and resilience mixed with desperately limited ambition squeezed them pastand Theo Dan with a line-up that was in part transformational – the non-selection of Courtney Lawes, Joe Marler, Billy Vunipola and Jonny May was a nod to the future – but the game plan of incessant kicking remained.
If you go further and bracket it with the previous World Cup 2019, the record is 11 wins in 13 matches. It would be wrong to claim they are genuinely third in the world, given the draw kept them clear of the top five ranked teams until the semi-final. What a shame to see a player of his ball-in-hand talent confined to running up and back all evening, chasing kicks and retreating, on repeat.is the best fly-half to emerge in England in the last five years but his national team are mucking him around at full-back., and a conversion of Earl’s try when Farrell and Smith combined with good hands, in a brief glimpse of the dual playmaker idea.
