With the UK teams being out of school for 6 months, and many in Academies, there is a noticeable difference between the Aus boys and their counterparts.
Yeah, Its not a case of Twiddling their Thumbs but Why wasn't he there in the First Place ? Taylor the same, should be there as well, another Big Winger and Superbly Fit, Sorry, but they have No Idea and the Results are speaking for themselves@The Rock, there is a thread to whinge about Selectors Bias.
Jones isn't twiddling thumbs. He is on the big silver bird as we type. He chose not to go to Schoolies, and has been keeping fit with various rugby programmes he is involved in. He should slot in easily, and will also be good cover for Kellaway at Fullback if the injury is worse than initially thought, or if it flares up.

In some respects, a loss (or series of losses) like this can be good for our boys.
In their rugby careers so far, the majority have been in Age Group A teams, Rep Selections and 1st XV's leading a fairly pampered existence. They have been accustomed to winning, and individually performing at a level above their peer group.
They have just come up against a group who have had about 6 months post school in the academies/colts type environment. School 1st XV and rep honours and previous Age Group A reputations count for nothing in that setting. A lot can change in that 6 months, physically and skill wise.
This can be the wake up call for the boys to show how they have to apply themselves in the 1st year or two post school if they are to have any chance of being competitive at U20 Jnr RWC, and what they need to do if they have any desire to go on to Soup and Wob level.
