[QUOTE="Crapspray, post: 672872, member: 58918"] Croft is a two times Lion and has been playing for England now for, what, eight years? Twelvetrees was only selected injured in New Zealand and played in the second test- along with finalists who flew out late. Otherwise he's been available for all England games since first capped- bar Argentina, when he was with the Lions. Contrast to Fraser, who has only ever played for the Saxons and has only been in an EPS camp for about two weeks. If he wasn't an almost completely unknown entity at international level perhaps he'd get a shot. With the World Cup now 12 months away, I don't think it would be advised to select him. He could well crock soon after a few caps, be too inexperienced to make a world cup squad, and ultimately waste caps which would then have been better handed-out to Kvesic/A.N. Other. If he lights the world on fire all season, give him a go. But as it stands, he needs a lot of time and petrol before he'd convince me to drop an England flanker for him. Injury cover? Sure. Anything near game time? Not likely. [/QUOTE]
