I started this thread 2 years ago and completely forgot my team selection, crazy to think it now has over 45,000 views. Anyway, I thought it would be interesting to compare a selection of teams from two years ago to the likely team now, here is mine 2 years ago with the changes being the edits...

True, whilst I cannot agree with everything he says, certainly that argument has merit as well. Playing Ashton and Foden on the wing with Brown at full back gives the two most deserving back three players (Foden and Brown) a run out in an England shirt

For once I actually agreed with something Stuart Barnes said on the Rugby Club. We should be picking wingers on try scoring ability and not defensive ability. So it really would be good to see Wade get in as he is one of the most potent scorers currently in English rugby.

No Armitage because the Top 14 final on the same day as Englands first test. Impractical to have him in the squad, will miss all the training and the first test, as good as he is. Also no chance Toulon will release him

England Squad To South Africa Well its that time near the end of the season where people like to talk about who will go on England's summer tour. So who is the squad going to be? i Would sugggest these players should deserve an oppurtunity Joseph, Wade, Miller, Wood (Gloucester)...

No doubt Cipriani is the most naturally gifted fly half England have at the moment. Would love to see him go to Wasps with Palmer and Haskell, if not to drag Wasps out of their current chasm than anything else. Unfortunately for Cipriani Flood, Farrell, Burns and Ford are ahead of him. Will be...

Would be a shame in some ways to see Lancaster go. He looks like he has a lot to offer and seems to have a definite image of England going forward. It would be nice if Mallet came in and Lancaster was heavily involved as well as Farrell who seems like a top coach

happy with both squads. Especially to see the Saxons with players such as Jamie Gibson who is a proper openside. Should be a good open solid side. So happy Banahan isnt included... worst international ever.

will be nice to see Sam Tomkins having a game of union. I think it may be a bit over hyped and he will be unlikely to have a massive performance. You only have to look at Ashton interviews to see that he wasnt comfortbale in Union after a season and you only have to look at how poor Willie Mason...

Martin Johnson leaving the England post. Personally i am quite thankful as i see it is the (hopefull) end of the Woodward era. As England or rugby fans we have seen the glorious Woodward followed by his less glorious Assistant and Attack managers followed by his former captain. Therefore I...

All i know about French juniour Rugby is that Jean-Marc Doussain was brought in with 5 mins left. Also there is the likes of Huget, Parra and a few others that have years left in the belt to make it to England 2015

It might seem a way off now but boy is it coming. Lions vs Australia could be one of the best tours in a long long time. Australia's young guns wont be quite as young but will be tighter and more talented. The Lions on the other hand have a chance in my mind of having a very competetive tour. Im...

Young Guns Ok here is how i see it. To begin with to pick Englands backs in the future you have to look at the way they play or (how you want them to play) and how Johnson or the next England coach would want us to play. In essence looking at the current crop of players and the recent 4...

I'm pretty sure Chris Budgen has to be up there...

you will be able to pre-order it on www.play.com so far though you can only ask them to email you when it is possible to pre-order it. However, they will definitely be selling it so i imagine the other retail stores will be as well.

i would like to see 1) Marler 2) Hartley 3) Cole 4) Gaskell 5) Lawes 6) Croft 7) Armitage 8) Haskell 9) Simpson 10) Cipriani 11) Sharples 12) Turner-Hall 13) Tuilagi 14) Ashton 15) Foden as a sort of team of the future sort of thing. Would be nice to see the likes of certainly Gaskell...

yeh definitely. Theyll probably do what they did in 2003 and agree with Wales like they did with France to play a strong team vs a weak team and vice versa. So Englands strongest team at home v Wales possible players for World Cup!

expect manu tuilagi though. If anything it will be closer to a Saxons side but to be fair to England the Saxons have some exciting players marler, tuilagi, mike brown, barrit maybe anthony allen will be playing probably Courtney Lawes just to get him some more game time!

15- Lee Byrne (on top form) 14- Chris Ashton 13- Brian O'Driscoll 12- Sonny Bill Williams 11- Shane Williams 10- Dan Carter 9 - Foruie De Preez 1- Carl Hayman 2- Bismark Du Plesis 3- Tony Woodcock 4- Courtney Lawes 5- Victor Matfield 6- Richie McCaw 7- George Smith 8- Jamie Heaslip

so happy they're releasing the game. However, a few more details would be nice! I suspecty however it will follow the format of the previous football world cup games such as the one realeased in 2010 also by HB studios. looking to pre-order now!
