[QUOTE="Not Eddie Jones, post: 989518, member: 81025"] There seem to be a lot of assumptions going on with Dombrandt, Devoto, Thorley et al that they are ready for interntional rugby, but we all know club form doesn't necessarily translate to international form. Alex Goode has been one of the best players in Europe for the past decade, but he was consistently poor in an England shirt. When Eddie first picked an out-and-out 7 rather than a 6 and a half - Teimana Harrison - he proved to be in over his head. Furbank is a proper fullback and Eddie clearly thought he was ready, but so far he's been mediocre. Slade is a fine player now, but for his first ten caps or so, he looked lost. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Dombrandt in there, but I don't think we can just assume we can plug him straight in and everything's gonna be fine. [/QUOTE]
