I've said this before when people have clamoured for a player to be picked for England because he's having a great club season or is exciting etc.
There's no point if the England game plan doesn't suit their skills.
for the game plan Eddie has, he picks the right players.
If he picks Simmonds/Dobby/Smith but wants them to play like Billy/Youngs/Ford/Farrell then it won't work.
Unless Eddie changes his plans, there's absolutely zero point in picking different players. the same players were able to destroy the All Blacks not that long ago remember.
re Smith his game has improved massively since Gustard left quins. The whole back line now appear to be playing as a unit rather than Smith & Care trying to win games by themselves. The game plan changed to suit the players, rather than trying to change the players to suit the plan.
