'England's back-row failed again' - Robertson

Legendary commentator Ian Robertson believes England's back-row failed for the second Six Nations match in a row, after defeat to France in Paris.

England fell to a second defeat in two matches, whilst Ireland's bonus-point win over Scotland meant they secured the Six Nations title.

Robertson said: "Eddie Jones picked a back-row that failed miserably two weeks ago at Murrayfield and it failed again today.

"He said two years ago, Chris Robshaw will never be an open-side, he's a bind-side... And then he's picked him last week when he was played out of the game at open-side, and again today"

"I would be shattered if he doesn't make changes in the back row"

England next face Ireland at Twickenham, who are now one win away from completing a Grand Slam.
