[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1018832, member: 73144"] I’m really not sure what Jones is trying to achieve, but in terms of this match..... Ita are inexperienced and poor. A few nice passages of play, but Fra walloped them in Rome without really bothering to get out of 3rd gear. We’re playing them at HQ with one of our most experienced teams ever, many of whom played on a RWC final not so long ago. We’ll win, but there is no excuse for not putting Ita to the sword with a performance of conviction, accuracy and panache. There really isn’t, this should be men against boys. Jones has backed himself into a corner though and even if we do clout Ita that tells us little about how we’ll do in future games against better opposition. [/QUOTE]
