I just hope that England finish each game with the same number of players on the pitch as when they started !!
Right now I do have my doubts, though.

Oh yea of little faith.... Forget the doom and gloom, look on the bright side. Instead of waiting for your prophesy to come true, be thankful
that we have a Coach who has the guts to pick the best players and draw a line so they can all start again with the same chance. well done Mr Jones I say, let the tut tutters be silenced, be positive

I see there are 3 debutants in the England squad to play against Scotland in their 1st match of this years 6 Nations, but looking at the full squad it would appear that the team to run out will be very much the same as that which took part in the World Cup matches.
Agree nellie, but I think that a bit of mindset tuning and bonding is being done, new leadership is essential, as is the relieving of certain responsibilities from others, this may well make certain players give better performances. The only way is up.......

It seems that Eddie Jones will pick a big pack and an experienced team without too much new blood. This would be a sensible strategy specifically for the Scotland match which could be wet, windy and intimidating. Depending on how it goes I would expect to see something a bit more experimental and with more of the new faces at the Italy match. Fascinating.
