So for the 2nd test EJ drops our best back, Joe Marchant, dispenses with our biggest ball carrier Cokanasiga and selects Leicester's 3rd choice scrum half to start. Ludlam made a significant impact but Underhill starts having hardly played in the last few months. Is it not yet time to stop experimenting, select what you think is your best team and give them game time playing together?

In the past, there would be a dirt tracker side playing midweek matches against provincial sides, ad that would be where you looked at new players, and possibly then slotted them into the test side. But, when you are down in a test series, you ought to be playing your best players in the correct positions. But what do I know. I just prop up the bar.

and his selections turned out to be the right ones didn't they. One thing to clear up here, JvP is not Tigers third choice, his career is being managed, it's not that long ago he was playing for Leicester Lions in Nat 2. Borthwick is bringing on a whole rash of academy players and managing them in a similar vein, Chessum, Hayes and Martin are just a few examples, Steward being the exception who has taken on the role exceptionally well.

I note Jones has said he has gone for Care as the starting 9 as he expects a fast game. Now I know Care brings experience to the role, but does Jones really think Care is better suited to a fast game that JvP clearly has? Don't have a problem with Care starting with an early barrage expected from the Aussies and JvP coming on into a game that may well be breaking up in the later stages, but Jones reasoning really makes no sense at all.
