Think Jones may have lost the plot.....

A Centre playing on the wing, No proper no 8, and a 15 who
couldn't catch a cold in the North pole!

Jonathan Joseph starts on the wing on his 50th cap as head coach
Eddie Jones shuffles England's backline for the Six Nations
match with Ireland on Sunday.
Elliot Daly moves to full-back for the Twickenham game with
George Furbank, who began the first two games, injured.
Centre Manu Tuilagi is back after recovering from a groin
niggle.
Prop Joe Marler replaces the unavailable Mako Vunipola, with Ben
Youngs returning at scrum-half and Courtney Lawes starting on
the flank.
England team to face Ireland
England: Daly; May, Tuilagi, Farrell (capt), Joseph; Ford,
Youngs; Marler, George, Sinckler, Itoje, Kruis, Lawes,
Underhill, Curry.
Replacements: Cowan-Dickie, Genge, Stuart, Launchbury, Ewels,

Bizarre stuff. Joseph's a very capable player but not really a
winger and I really don't like Lawes at 6.

Well, we are short of decent wingers and back row players so
makes sense. Oh wait

Eddie Jones is an idiot and literally makes no sense. If Ireland
win I hope they actually stuff us to highlight his shortcomings
if it means we actually get a head coach in who is a bit old
fashioned, as in playing the best players in their best
positions.
What next? Johnny May gets injured and is replaced by Cowan
Dickie?

Wouldn't say he's an idiot. Won 2 6 nations including an 18 game
unbeaten run and got us to a World Cup final thumping Aus and NZ
on the way.
Wish he would stop with the bizarre selections though. It's
almost as if he's doing some stuff just for the hell of it.

Joseph - not a centre
Daly - not an international full back
Lawes - not a 6
uh?!?!? what is next? Marler on the wing?

I do not understand this fixation with Lawes at 6. Against
Scotland we were much better having a relatively balanced back
row (though I would prefer Dombrandt at 8 and Curry at 6). Also
If we are having a 6:2 bench, why would you have 5 locks?
