[QUOTE="spartan32, post: 929124, member: 72322"] Never really sure what the definition of World Class is. If it means, would they be in a world 23 super side then many of England would not, but we still have some mighty fine players. Faz may not be a world 23 but I’d say he’d be a third maybe 4th choice. He’s one of the worlds best kicking 10s and, tackle technique aside, one of the best in D, and he certainly makes a difference to England when he’s on the field. Room for improvement certainly but to my eye he is improving year on year. Back line for this game is suspect will be: 9. Youngs 10. Faz 11. Daly (for that cannon of a boot and there’s no where else for him) 12. Slade 13. Manu 14. May 15. Brown Bench. Nowell, Robson, Ford I’d like to say Nowell to 15 be can’t see EJ risking that in this game, and as we all know Daly ain’t a 15, so has to be Brown. Daly has got to be on the pitch though as England’s chance of crossing the whitewash are statistically almost none so we need as many options to score points from the boot as possible. He won’t get a centre berth so it’s the wing for him. That decision is made easier due to no Big Joe or Watson. With no Teo and Ford useless behind a struggling pack, 12 has to go to Slade as Faz will be 10. It also makes sense to have a second playmaker and kicker and someone who could put Manu into space. Manu and May start for obvious reasons. Nowell benches as he covers several positions. Robson and Ford for obvious reasons. That’s my prediction for EJs line up. As always no idea about forwards. Assume Curry, Etoje, Billy, Kruis, George will start? [/QUOTE]
