[QUOTE="Wendigo7, post: 674059, member: 56602"] 1. Corbisiero 2. Webber 3. Wilson 4. Launchbury/Attwood (the guy is playing so well at the moment and can now play 80 mins) 5. Lawes 6. Haskell 7.

Morgan 21. Youngs 22. Cipriani 23. Joseph/Foden/Watson Other things to note: - Let Slade and Hill get the full season. I think they are late for 2015 and this is their first proper full season as starters, it would reflect very badly on other members and it might hinder them if they think it's easy for a callup. - Barrington deserves a call up currently. Mako is perma-crocked and he's a good replacement. - Please not Longbottom - Wade is a tough one. If Farrell plays, I'd pick Wade at 14, similar with Cipriani. If Ford plays though, I'd want Roko or Watson to start. Depends on the 10 as to the wingers. I want us to believe we can win 4 from 4 and I believe we might well do. Not arrogance or blindness, just a belief that we really should dispatch Australia and SA, NZ will be the tough first hit out but if we did win it, the confidence through the side then and the steam it would build into world cup year would be immense. - I'm also a person who sees Slade as a 12 option longer term for England and even then, Devoto is a pretty good option also. - Can we please for once face NZ with a fully fit team. A fully fit team at home probably is 5 points better than them. Anything less and it becomes very debatable. :(. Savea hasn't been injured in his career since playing for the All Blacks. If he get's injured it's a very large and hard hole to fill. [/QUOTE]
