[QUOTE="Not Eddie Jones, post: 983273, member: 81025"] Eddie likes big, powerful beasts at 8 and he doesn't fit that model, so I would guess his best chance is at flanker, and he certainly has the speed and attacking capabilities to play there, but again, Eddie wants jackaling specialists, and I'm not aware that that is Simmonds' speciality. He seems like a bit of a 'tweener to me, not quite a flanker, not quite a number 8. That said, he can still have a great England career. Is he better at 9 or 12? ;) [/QUOTE]
