[QUOTE="BPM, post: 991771, member: 59968"] Some interesting/strange inclusions there. Alfie Barbeary has a lot of hype around him but he’s not yet played a senior game for Wasps and is currently injured while on loan at Nottingham. Eddie makes some strange decisions but that would be an extremely left field choice. When Ibuanopke left Quins, I had a slight fear that Saracens might somehow unlock talent we hadn’t seen, but all the evidence so far suggests that he’s similarly underwhelming there too. Tighthead is a tricky position to pick. I’m pleased to see Stuart coming through as I think he’s better than Williams. Collier and Schonert aren’t good enough and it’s probably too soon for Painter, Street or Heyes. Ben Earl is somehow listed as a winger rather than a flanker? I wouldn’t be overly surprised to see Piers Francis retire. Sadly, he seems permanently concussed and even if he’s fit, he’s not that great. I agree Flobalob re. Simmonds and O’Flaherty (yes) and Olyy re. Ashton and Yarde (no). As for others not mentioned, I’d put the following in the mix: Joe Marchant (centre) Harry Mallinder (fullback/centre) Ben Loader (wing/fullback) Ollie Hassell-Collins (wing) [/QUOTE]
