[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 748012, member: 13739"] That's pretty much what I'd go for as well. I'd be tempted to have Moriarty on the bench over Lydiate though, as he'll offer more impact. If Paul James and Jarvis are both struggling, I think James will have to make way. Jarvis is our emergency cover at hooker, so he's probably more important to the squad than James. I wouldn't call up Adam Jones though. When was the last time he looked even remotely international class? I think too many people are living in the past re. Adam Jones, he's well and truly done now. If we need another prop, Nicky Smith will come back in, or if Samson is out then Andrews will come in. It'll be interesting who comes in at centre. Isn't Tyler Morgan fit again now? Otherwise Hooky is the best option, unless they gamble with North being our centre backup and bring a winger back in (Walker was only meant to be out for 2 weeks, so he could come back into the squad... again). Regarding the actual game. If we can put pressure on England in the scrum (Ma'afu had Cole under pressure, and he's quite frankly a terrible scrummager), the lineout (Charteris is key here), and at the breakdown (please pick Warbs and Tips Gats), then we'll have every chance of winning. I think English fans should be very worried about those 3 critical areas of the game! [/QUOTE]
