[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 594044, member: 34990"] I'd have Foden over Brown, and arguably wouldn't have Wade there - don't think he's had the best start to the season, and if we're judging solely on the opening rounds, then it should be Ashton there (shock horror!). Backrow is an odd one - with Wood playing 6 for Saints (shifting Clarke to 7) I think that he's been asked to play there by England, so I think we'll see the standard Wood, Robshaw, Morgan backrow, with one of Binny and Kvesic on the bench. However I've not been blown away by Robshaw, he's been OK but has been overhyped to the max by media (social and otherwise). Morgan has been poor so far, whereas Binny has been excellent, though playing at 6 rather than 8 (can't remember his control at the scrum for Wasps? I want to say it wasn't great, but don't know why). Kvesic has been quality for Gloucester, though has been moved across to 6 to accommodate Qera. Realistically the only viable option we have at 7 is Dave Seymour. :D My backrow would be: 6. Wood 7. Kvesic 8. Binny 20. Robshaw/Morgan Kvesic may not be as dependable/whatever as Robshaw, but is better at the breakdown, better in link play and 10 times the carrier (Robshaw's carrying looks to have taken a backwards step over the summer and it wasn't particularly great to start with).
