[QUOTE="LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan), post: 989093, member: 70842"] I mean what other potential 12 is there really? 20 year old Lawrence who had played 2 games in 2 months prior to selection seems to be the one most people have their eyes on. I don't think England has as much quality depth ready for international as some make out to believe. I do think Dombrandt is ready for International rugby as is Thorely and I do think Eddie is being too stubborn with those. dombrandt at 8 should help the 6 situation as it would move Underhill or Currey. Hill is promising but could see why it might be the case of waiting for the summer tour. But I can't think of many 12's I would say should be in the England team ahead of Farrell and Ford (as a 10). Luke James and OL both look great but don't know what Luke James v Redpath situation is at sale maybe [USER=34990]@TRF_Olyy[/USER] could me more of a idea. Personally currently I prefer James. Maybe Manu 12 and Marchant at 13. But Joe being in NZ and coming back for the summer tests could well be better for him long term. Same for 15's, Furbank seems solid but about it currently. We have some highly rated 15's coming through but that is still some time away, and really can't think of many players in the prem putting their hands up, with Watson being injured. 9's I do think someone should get another go but not sold on Randall as being the answer, I think Mitchell might have the best chance. For me if Eddie dosen't give the likes of Dombrandt, Thorely, Marchant/Lawrance/James maybe Hill and Mitchell chances at least in the Summer tours that will be when I lose faith in him. [/QUOTE]
