The players that Deans brought through were still at school in 2007. Knuckles didn’t have any props due to lack of time to turn around Eddie Jones’ neglect of the scrum.
The rot kicked in when Deans brought in the amigos and kept on donkeys like Baxter, Dunning, Brown and Burgess for far too long despite their obvious weaknesses and it was costing us test matches. The older players he wanted to replace the likes of Gregan, Larkham, Latho, etc had poor attitudes.
