[QUOTE="Crapspray, post: 780953, member: 58918"] I'm not sure if you were quoting from this or are just able to read Eddie like a book, but he says as much here: [URL]http://www.englandrugby.com/news/rbs-nations-maro-needs-time-jones/[/URL] There's a video of the interview somewhere, in which he explains that a bad start can lead to a player being ejected after 10 - 20 games and being written off as not good enough or being knocked off course. Personally, I'm not sure if it's conservatism or a (potentially misplaced) sign of confidence. Who knows what his real targets are this season, or what caveats the RFU have made, but if he's confident he can get decent results with the leftovers of Lancaster's squad then he can afford to take his time capping youth. Maybe one day England will be settled enough to not need to cap ten new players each and every year... [/QUOTE]
