[QUOTE="ALJ, post: 989521, member: 74322"] Is the Australian team a good poster-child for quality rugby? Can we really believe that BV is the only international class no 8 in England? If he is then that’s a damning indictment but we’re never going to find out if we never play another number 8. Jones is clearly an excellent coach but he seems a little too bloody minded sometimes. A good example is his unwillingness to ever pick more than two S/Hs in the squad - one goes down in the lead up to a match and were screwed. Yet 5 locks in the starting 23 is apparently fine - sure we have a lot of good quality locks but that doesn’t mean they all have to play. [/QUOTE]
