[QUOTE="Jakedood, post: 1022247, member: 72409"] Interesting to read all this England teams things First off, most international teams dont blood you in the first time you're called up to a squad. You have to learn the new attacking systems and style of play, and that doesnt come overnight. I'd say EJ and his youngish shadow squad are in preparation for the summer tours, so they can hit the ground running and give a true account of themselves However, while some players may not be in form, it can be a team thing, and they just need that confidence and fluidity back. I agree England are better with two playmakers and a strike runner in midfield, and Jones does as well, but this is a very intelligent coach, i'd say his issue would usually be more overthinking than underthinking? I'd also say when blooding new caps, it's a lot easier to do so when the team around you arent relying on you to change the game, they can guide you through the step up in intensity. Rugby is a team game, not an individual one, and articles I've seen show that Eddie Jones is restructuring englands attack (Charlie Morgan wrote a good piece in the telegraph). Doesnt come overnight, but these are talented rugby players, they'll get the hang of it. That said, I'd say having hear that inside line, Farrell is not the kind of captain i'd listen to a lot, or really inspire me overly. He seems to struggle with words, and therefore would need to be the captain who leads from the front, which you cant really do as an out half, that style needs to be in the forward pack. Very interesting seeing Curry helping out Ted Hill, and also thought Mark Wilson looked a quality senior squad member Daly is struggling for sure, and maybe Malins does deserve a go, but you'd say not a whole lot of full back are tearing up... maybe with two playmakers in midfield, an Anthony watson style full back could actually be effective, and add in a new winger?
