[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1069509, member: 73144"] The main problem with Binny (and others) was that he was given a sinecure and kept his place when he clearly wasn’t worth it. That breeds complacency and Binny’s always been pretty open that he needs to be kept on his toes, he’s not got anything like Farrell’s natural drive and rage. The kick up the arse he’s had was way overdue and that’s poor management from Jones. BUT he seems to have responded well and 20 stone of snorting, motivated Binny can still have a role to play, maybe off the bench. The game evolves, but there’s always space for someone who can get their team on the front foot. I like smart and want Dombrandt to start. He’s gone OK in the limited chances he’s been given but the shirt is far from guaranteed to be his yet. Plenty of twists to come in that battle I think. Also, what constitutes a good 6N? Got to be better than 5th but the Autumn suggests that it could be a really competitive championship. Sco and Fra away are real banana skins, while Ire were looking good. On our day we could probably beat anyone but I could also see us winning as few as 2. Jones will see us through to the RWC, there’s little doubt about that, but where does it leave us if we follow that 5th with a bit of a meh 3rd or 4th? [/QUOTE]
