[QUOTE="Tayga, post: 933068, member: 79351"] The risk of blooding young players too early is destroying their self confidence . I remember many years ago England’s Tour of Hell when we got murdered 76-0 by Australia - a young 18 year fresh faced flyhalf started that day ( Johnny Wilkinson) and the rest is history. My view is that young players need to brought in incrementally rather than wholesale - if you put them all in straightaway it will be a disaster and set back les bleus even further. It is a matter of timing and only a good coach can judge that ( Joe Schmidt ? ) The other thing I would say is about the England back row to which you alluded to - I agree - certainly over the first 2 matches we look to have a very nicely balanced back row which looks world class as a unit - I can’t remember a better balance since the Hill/Back/Dallaglio unit. I think that they will be able to match the welsh back in Cardiff. [/QUOTE]
