[QUOTE="miccloarch, post: 1109874, member: 78309"] I think Squidge is spot on. Jones is keeping much of his World Cup game plan in the locker at the expense of regular test matches and the 6N. This is probably one reason why a lot of people hate the whole "World Cup Cycle" thing but to me it's incredibly intriguing. Do you gamble on your squad's ability to execute when it matters under pressure without much in-game practice? Or do you make them a well-oiled machine at the risk of exposing everything and being predictable? The All Blacks usually choose the latter which sometimes leads to catastrophe as they struggle to respond when things don't go to plan. Jones has presumably taken the former option. My money's on France to win the WC but England are definitely the darkhorse. [/QUOTE]
