[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 938456, member: 72977"] I slightly disagree about Shields, I think he is there as a 6 who has the bonus of covering lock. Doesn't mean I want him at lock, but I don't think you can say he's being picked over second row players. My issue is that like with most players who perform better in the Premiership, they haven't been given any international game time and so it's a choice between someone who has played or risk someone who hasn't even if they may be better. Underhill potentially could be a 6, but I don't think Jones sees that. Simply in terms of 6 there only options are Wilson and Shields. 8 on the other hand there are clearly other players with experience, hell, Wilson has played 8 for England, Morgan too and Mercer coming through. Hughes is the biggest waste of space at the moment. Te'o is too, but like 6, there isn't anyone else really unless you move Faz back and it seems like Jones has moved away from that, so you're left with Tuilagi and Te'o. [/QUOTE]
