[QUOTE="TheSaffycen, post: 791307, member: 71135"] Right this would be my squad. I'm not sure who's injured and not available, so just do your thing pick up on the little details. Loosehead- Marler, Vunipola. Marler has to start wth Mako coming off. [I]Mullan[/I] is a more than capable back up, strong scrummager and can step in and not change the gameplan. Hooker- Hartley, George, LCD. [I]Taylor[/I] can come in if anyone else is injured. Hartley only stays as the players seem to like him as a captain. Tighthead- Brookes, Cole. [I]Hill[/I] and [I]Thomas[/I] are both chomping at Coles heels. I haven't liked him a lot this 6 nations, our scrum is stable but the penalty count is mad. Lock- Kruis, Itoje, Launchbury, Kitchener. A lot of players like [I]Slater, Attwood, Symons and Lawes[/I] are in contention. Slater may be instead of Kitch so that we have 2 athletic and 2 bulky locks. Blindside- Haskell, Ewers. Ewers would be my preferred starter, also means that Binny could be rested for Clifford and Ewers can give us the carrying we need. Croft would be in my eyeline as well. Openside- Kvesic, Fraser. Maybe against popular belief but I think Fraser is the better player, having outplayed Kvesic when they've met. [I]Underhill[/I] is also in there but I haven't seen him play. Number 8- Binny, Clifford. Because [I]Beamount[/I] is injured and[I] Hughes[/I] isn't available. Morgan is always good for us but we'll see if he suits Jones' gameplan. Scrum Half- Care, Youngs, Robson. Might not be consistent, but both produce match winning displays. Robson has everything, we'll see what he can do. Youngs drops out if [I]Simpson[/I] becomes available. Fly Half- Ford, Farrell. Straight shoot out. Farrell tried his hardest but he wont be a 12 to beat the Aussies. Centre- Tuilagi, Joseph, Daly, Slade. Hill is interesting but these 4 are the standouts. Slade is probably seen as a 12, but without constant games there I would probably put him 13 with Manu at 12. Wing- Nowell, Rokoduguni, May. All 3 can do things at intl' level. Probably have May on the bench as he can cover 15,11,14 maybe 13. [I]Lewington, Wade and Yarde [/I]are all form players. Wade should have been tested by now. Fullback- Watson, Brown. Watson to start the first test. Brown is the back up. [I]Pennell[/I] and [I]Foden[/I] back ups. For the first test 1.Marler 2.Hartley 3.Brookes 4.Itoje 5.Kruis 6.Ewers 7.Fraser 8.Vunipola 9.Youngs 10.Farrell 11.Nowell 12.Tuilagi 13.Joseph 14.Rokoduguni 15.Watson 16.George 17.Vunipola 18.Cole 19.Launchbury 20.Clifford 21.Care 22.Slade 23.May [/QUOTE]
