[QUOTE="MarkyH, post: 865380, member: 73780"] Well, I think that was a fantastic 16/17 season for England. No Grand Slam but more development of youth, a great win in Aus, an autumn unbeaten and winning 2-0 in Argentina with a massive reserve and youth squad... The players that went to the Lions will come back knowing that NZ aren't invincible and shouldn't have a fear factor. Also shows how much physicality you need to compete with them... The young players were more than good enough to beat a Tier 1 nation away from home. Twice. The number 7 conundrum is now a totally different problem, we've got 3 youngsters who could all stake a claim for selection. Still, where's that young exciting full back when you need one? Hopefully we can see one of Watson or Daly go to FB between now and 2019. Looking forward to the 17/18 EPS, presume a lot of the Lions regulars will be rested (Jones mentioned this I'm sure). The next two years should be great, and with Jones in charge I'm confident he's got a plan of action that takes us through till then... [/QUOTE]
