[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1006141, member: 59968"] Maybe sometimes he does, but the main examples of that have been Cipriani and Armand. Cipriani definitely could and possibly should have added something for England, but Eddie was hardly the first to have reservations about him and generally, the overall sentiment seems to be that the cons outweigh the pros. Armand deserved to be treated better than he was, but by the time the World Cup came around, he was already yesterday’s news for Exeter so maybe Eddie saw enough to be ahead of the curve on that? I have my gripes with him too. For example, I would never have picked Willi Heinz and certainly would not pick him now. Robson and Spencer should have had a lot more games and how Heinz is still in the picture baffles me. I’m also annoyed we missed out on Nick Tompkins who I think could have been very useful for us. Overall though, I’m pretty happy with the squad. It’s only three or four choices different to what mine would have been, [/QUOTE]
