[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 1015974, member: 34990"] Happy for Wilson - he's in fine form atm and offers something different to our other backrowers, and should mean that Lawes isn't used in the backrow - but it does feel harsh on Willis. Really though it's Willis vs Earl (as Earl was brought off the bench at 7), Wilson is our 2nd choice 8 and 2nd choice 6 - I'd argue for him starting at 8, though, as he really has played well for Newcastle, and Binny hasn't been in form for a while. Pleased to see Randall there - still fuming Spencer isn't our starting 9 - but a welcome addition. Odogwu has a lot of potential and is a very exciting player but can't help but feel he wouldn't be there if there wasn't so much talk about Italy chasing him. Fear he might be a Dunn - few seconds off the bench and then disappears. Happy to see Lawrence and Malins have kept their spots, and some exciting players in the "Shadow" squad - especially Atkinson, who is sooo much better than Umaga. Surprised at no JJ in the main squad, though - how longs it been since he was fit and not there? I was fearing the worst with the reduced squad announcement, but it's surprisingly good. Biggest concern, for me, is no Sinckler - even in shadow squad. [/QUOTE]
