[QUOTE="MarkyH, post: 1083986, member: 73780"] Totally understand this point but the analogy and using Chris Witty is wrong. Science is fact, it can be proven using research data and real results. There's people who disagree with Chris Witty, but he's an expert and science is his evidence. Science is true. And people (As we sadly see) can choose to ignore science. Picking Rugby players for an XV will always be an opinion. Either that of me, you or Eddie Jones. Yes he's an expert of Rugby and has coached fantastically at the highest level. But we are fans of the sport, we are all 'scouts' of the next best rugby player. We see how they play week in and week out at our clubs and our opinion can be shouted more arrogantly as a fan of the sport. We can believe we're right, especially when England are losing and the current coach has a total jumbled logic to his selections - now is that arrogant, or wrong, or is it popular opinion amongst us fans? Rugby isn't science. It's just opinions. It's just some opinions are worth more than others. And if you're Eddie Jones, then his oppionion is the only one that matters. He is more of an expert than any of us. But we can say he's wrong :D :D [/QUOTE]
