[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 974352, member: 73144"] You totally miss the point. Wasn’t a tirade against Youngs. The blind spot has been 9 in general. Mainly sticking with Youngs and Care for too long in the full knowledge of what they could do and not blooding others. But also only picking 2 SHs in this squad. Many here have long complained about both of those. If Youngs gets hurt early, we’re relying on a guy with 3 caps (no starts), who hasn’t been his club’s first choice for long, who’s just got off a 12 hour flight across several time zones, who isn’t hugely in tune with the rest of the squad. In a key position in a RWC final. I like Spencer. I think he should have been in the original squad. But this is exactly the scenario Jones could and should have avoided. [/QUOTE]
