[QUOTE="goodNumber10, post: 665234, member: 71068"] don't agree with that at all. The only team that has had a genuine rotation policy over the last decade is New Zealand. Where exactly would you give people game time? Lancaster has taken large squads on tour exposed people to the squad, he can't compromise results just to blood people. It depends on how you want to play the game... watch New Zealand and (the third test aside) their wingers don't get much ball off primary phase except as a runner from blind. It's all about the back three offering counter attack options. In that way England [B]ARE[/B] trying to utilise their wingers better, they just don't have the CA processes refined in the same way NZ and France do. Lets remember NZ have been doing it for a good 12 years now, and France for Decades, Australia and SA are getting there but like us are not quite as natural at it as the Blacks & Blues. [/QUOTE]
