[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 924174, member: 56232"] The thing is if you are old enough if you are ready. A lot of the players who have rejuvenated England are all young an relatively inexperienced. I believe in having an experienced core but not if doing so means keeping poorly performing players in just because the number of caps they have is larger. Really Jones should have been doing all of this testing and experimenting after the tour of Australia but that's the past and can't be changed. Look at it like this, would he really perform any worse than Teo and is he likely to offer more? I'd rather we have a less experienced midfield than one that really isn't offering very much. Give him a go and see how he fares as a sub in the 6N. Look at how few games it took for Itoje to become a starter, or even Cokanasiga now. Underhill and Curry too. You really don't need that many games to see if someone is at a stage where they are ready to step up. [/QUOTE]
