[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 615964, member: 12190"] Well Big Ewis you've hit upon the real conundrum which is that on one hand the England coaches have felt able and willing to experiment with younger exciting guys in the forwards, whilst on the other being completely unwilling to do so in the backs. Which must lead me to the conclusion that the coaches genuinely think that bunch of backs are our best players still. Or alternatively that they think it less risky to have an inexperienced pack than an inexperienced backline - which I would completely disagree with. Both England and France have indeed experimented though I'd say England have done so within more rational grounds a lot of the time : both sides have brought in lots of new faces (England not so much in the backs). Is the difference that Englands experimentation has been more successfully, or simply that France have more depth/options they need to get through? Or both?! [/QUOTE]
