[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 917788, member: 73144"] There’s always got to be an injection of new blood, but as our winning streak and countless RWCs show, continuity is a massive thing. Change has to be evolution, there’s no point chucking caps around like confetti. Jones has given debuts to 27 players in 3 years so he’s certainly had a good look. Interestingly of those I’d say that only Itoje and Daly are nailed on starters. All the rest are inherited. No contingency planning would have seen him down to 5th choice LH (Mullan’s injured too). In other positions, notably SH and probably 8 he is culpable. I’m not Jones greatest fan - some of his decisions have been bizarre - but any coach struggles when half his players are knackered [/QUOTE]
