LIST | 5 players Eddie Jones should drop and who must replace them

5. Sam Simmonds for BIlly Vunipola

He’s a bit of a renegade, but after five tries in two games the numbers joining his cause are growing almost by the hour. 

Despite his ways being unconventional at times, it gets results. However, that’s not what commander Jones is looking for. The Aussie is like a chess player (control freak) and he wants this piece to be an absolute unit to carry, tackle and occasionally score a pushover try. 

Hopefully, talent prevails, but in this case it’s more likely that Jones ignores fans and carries on replacing like-for-like.
