[QUOTE="Not Eddie Jones, post: 986688, member: 81025"] Tbf, I didn't think Lawes played worse than anyone else. And I thought Youngs played well in that semi against NZ, but I do agree he was rubbish yesterday. However, I think we always forget to consider how players, regardless of their actual play, fit into the team's dynamic, e.g. as leaders, motivators, personalities etc. With so many changes to the team, including a few newbies, and a tricky away fixture in Paris in tricky conditions, Eddie probably wanted to keep his veteran halfbacks as a stabilising force for the team. I'm not saying that's why Youngs was selected, but it's a possibility (and slightly higher a possibility than Eddie being mad. Only slightly, mind... ;)) [/QUOTE]
