[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 989099, member: 73144"] Dombrandt’s exclusion is ridiculous. He’s ready. Thorley would have been a bit of a risk, but is an inexperienced winger more of a risk than an out of position centre who hasn’t been tearing up trees in his proper position. I don’t hate Farrell at 12, but I’d prefer a specialist there. Devoto was worth a shot, same with Woodward at FB......maybe not the most exquisitely gifted, but talent’s only part of the story. They’re good, quite physical, players who instinctively understand those positions and would probably have been solid. Wouldn’t have been pinpointed by opponents as potential liabilities. SH is just a running sore where Jones (in)actions are beyond comprehension. Odds are that a good number of youngsters are going to Japan in the summer. How much we’ll learn is open to question - they may be part of a fairly scratch team and Japan won’t be the same challenge they were in the RWC when their players solely focussed on that for months on end.
