[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 672597, member: 34990"] Fffaaaiiirrr enough, makes sense. I'm trying not to read too much into the NZ tour (other than Burns and Cipriani doing well internationally) - otherwise I'd be discounting Eastmond completely. I think Twelvetrees is still our first choice 12, but I want to see both Burrell and Eastmond tried there during the AIs. Realistically I think we'll see Eastmond get one start at 12 (Samoa, probably) and Burrell one, or maybe two, games at 13. I really do like Twelvetrees, but he's so inconsistent, both for club and country - seems a bit mad that we don't give Burrell a run there as it's his preferred position. Really happy to hear Nowell played today, as well. Was about to ask when he's expected back. Really hope he can make it into the EPS squad - going to be a big ask, coming off the back of a pretty long layoff, Watson playing so well for Bath, Yarde finally getting game time for England, Wade finally back from injury and Ashton being a Saracen. What might see him through is if he gets more game time at 15 (which is likely), and Wilson keeps Foden out of the Saints XV - Lancaster seems reluctant to use Foden (I know he's had his injuries, so maybe this is unfounded, but just a feeling I get) so maybe Nowell could sneak in as a fullback rather than wing. I do really like Foden, too, though. It's been a long old time since we've had this many talented back three players vying for honours. [/QUOTE]
