[QUOTE="Saintjay, post: 1118088, member: 55969"] I can't remember but at least two news sites were reporting last week Farrell and Smith were always in SB's plans as the 10/12 partnership. So I wouldn't be shocked if it doesn't change. Especially as others have pointed out making Farrell captain. I think even now I'm at the point of accepting England are just not good enough. The top four sides in the world have at least three or four players who are arguably the best in the world in there position. I don't know the exact stats but to win a world cup I think you have a link between amount of caps across a team and the 3\4 world class players. We have had those with potential or even those who have been world class. But at the moment they are no way near and I can't see that changing As it stands England probably have one in Freddie Steward. Yet that is very debatable. I am not convinced Eddie has totally shafted England. Maybe, just maybe we are not that good. Yes perhaps we should be better. Yet with the players we have a rank between 5-7 in the world is about as realistic as it gets, it's about as good as we really are. [/QUOTE]
