[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 775893, member: 38640"] Easter is 90 years old, and would be lucky to be a squad member. That said - picking wholes in candidates is much easier than finding a good one. I'm sticking with Launchberry - young enough to hit his prime come the next RWC, and is good enough to not miss out on selection (in arguably England's most competitive position). For me it is really a matter of: A. Picking a guy who is guaranteed a start. B. Doesn't have massive character flaws C. Ideally in the pack. That's it for me. You go looking for 'leaders' and you can end up selecting them for a long time over better players. Hartley would be fine for me if: A. I didn't prefer Youngs as a player. I think new coaches will improved Youngs setpiece. B. Hartley wasn't a total goon. Both of which are true to me. [/QUOTE]
