[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 803013, member: 72520"] I can't help feeling that saying Kruis had a bad back is Jones trying to hide what was really quite a bad performance. If Kruis had really been in bad enough shape for it to mean he wasn't performing anywhere near his capabilities, then I think Eddie would've put out Lawes or Launchbury. As for Sinckler for Hill, can't help feeling that that's a change for the sake of change. Hill's been performing fine, so why, in the 2nd test, risk debuting Sinckler? My team for this test would be: 1. Mako 2. Hartley 3. Cole 4. Itoje 5. Kruis 6. Robshaw 7. Hask 8. Billy (If he doesn't make an impact this game, put Clifford in. Billy's too slow and unfit for the SH sides) 9. Youngs 10. Ford 11. Nowell 12. Faz 13. JJ 14. Watson 15. Brown (Don't think he's done enough to merit dropping. If he has another poor game, then maybe) 16. George (LCD really needs to work on his lineouts. If he doesn't improve them, he needs replacing in the squad by Taylor) 17. Genge (Brings more impact from the bench than Mullan) 18. Hill 19. Launch 20. Clifford 21. Care 22. Slade (I understand calls for a 6/2 split, but not having a 10 scares me, even when there are 2 on the pitch) 23. Daly [/QUOTE]
