[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 957730, member: 45598"] So a quick skim through the relevant WR rules suggests it could be something as innocuous as betting on the NZ v SA game, incredibly stupid though as the same rules apply to the 6nations. It's not that simple though, his boss clearly doesn't want that style of rugby and will limit Jones massively by making him adhere to his current systems and formations, and rightfully so. They're days from the world cup, the time for innovation is long gone. At best Jones will be able to identify weaknesses in the opposition better than Howley and try to capitalise on that but I can't imagine the guy will be doing much more than introducing a new drill here and there. Ultimately we don't know the inner workings of the Welsh set up so it's all speculation but I reckon the best case scenario here is that'll have little to no effect. [/QUOTE]
