[QUOTE="Patchey, post: 647533, member: 61403"] Do we know for sure 36 is out or is that just an educated guess? If Eastmond starts thats great, because I want to see more of him, but also a little scary because whoever plays 10 (and any pundit who thinks Burns should start should be fed to Stuart Barnes) we're going to have a very new, very raw 10-12 combo facing off against not only an outrageously good back row but also an opposion 10-12 combo that is much more experienced both in terms of individual caps and game time together. Our props also scare me, specifically our bench. Thomas just can't scrummage and Catt is hardly convincing. Isn't Matt Mullan our there too? Best case team for me would be: 1 Marler 2 Ward 3 Wilson 4 Launchbury 5 Attwood 6 Robshaw 7 Haskell / Kvesic 8 Morgan 9 Care 10 Cipriani 11 May 12 Twelvetrees / Eastmond 13 Tuilagu 14 Yarde 15 Brown 16 Mullan 17 Webber 18 Thomas (or any passing, overweight Kiwi with an English granny. Would be preferable). 19 Slater 20 Haskell / Kvesic 21 Youngs 22 Burns 23 Pennell In reality I think all hope of seeing Robshaw at 6 is lost, we'll probably end up with Johnson and I wouldn't put it past Farrell Sr. to think Burns starting would be a great idea. Maybe we'll even have Brown on the wing and Pennell at 15! [/QUOTE]
