[QUOTE="spartan32, post: 937168, member: 72322"] Pretty much all of that. I know that Jones sometimes does things that can’t be comprehended and they seem to pay off, but not okay Big Joe in this game just seems insane! Not even a bench spot for him?!!! The only thing I can think of is that, although he has rejected comparison with Lomu, he wants to keep him under wraps as much as possible and then unleash him at the World Cup, much like the great man was in 95. But that seems a little redundant after the Italy game. I suppose he could be concerned about injury, why risk him even a little with almost nothing at stake? Although I can’t see many people doing that man mountain much harm. Moon in doesn’t really bother me. He’s stable and well tempered, less likely to be rattled by the inevitable wide up Shananigans of the Scots, unlike Genge who can be a bit fiery. I really don’t understand Teo on the bench. He brings nothing. He’s just a solid, basic centre with no X factor to speak of, hardly a finisher. With so many other options why have him there? Again, unless it’s to protect other assets now that there’s nothing really at stake? Really quite disappointed and less excited about this match now. Last real chance to see some amazing talent and it’s wasted. Feels like it could be a bit of a trudge this one, which would be a real shame after last weekend. [/QUOTE]
