But I still have more confidence in him in a tournament setting that I would have had Rennie
My whole point is that the cost of this is substantial in terms of money and the potential damage it does to Jones' tenure post RWC and the potential upside is low and looking unlikely to come to fruition.
Now I also believed that somehow Jones could do something miraculous this year so am also guilty of drinking the Kool-Aid but it's becoming more and more clear that this was hope more than anything concrete. The combination of relying on a bunch of key players returning from serious injuries as well as inexperienced guys being critical to our success is not a great position to be in.
