Eddie Jones believes that once the coronavirus pandemic is a thing of the past, then flankers must be able to play on the wing and vice versa.
It may sound like something resembling dat wanneer die perde horings kry, but Jones has his reasoning.
He explains to the Guardian: “How teams operate will be
different. I think every sport, particularly rugby, has been blown up through television rights and I think what will happen is that squads will become smaller and will need more multi-skilled players.
“We got criticised a lot for playing Tom Curry, who can play six, seven and No.8, but they are the sort of players you’re going to need to have: Jack Nowell being able to play wing or flanker, Ben Earl being able to play flanker or wing.”
