[QUOTE="TheSaffycen, post: 663100, member: 71135"] Well players are more likely to be picked from top 4 teams for a couple reasons- 1.Lancaster gets to see them on the big stage more often, take Wray for example he played in the prem final and the H Cup final. Now take Ewers for example, his biggest game was for the Saxons ? Maybe even against Saints or Saracens ? Lancaster doesn't know how Ewers will act on the big stage, without throwing him in with only a year till the world cup. If he fails in his first performance he isn't going to try him again because he doesn't have time. 2.They're normally just the better player, Northampton won the league and the Amlin so he is going to build his team around the likes of Lawes, Wood, Hartley. Now obviously players like Goode, Ashton aren't as good as others but i dont blame a coach picking players from the most dominant team this season (by a long way). Players like Daly who aren't playing for a big team and is up against the likes of Goode, Foden, Brown, Tait well he just isn't going to be considered because he wont play on the big stage. [/QUOTE]
