[QUOTE="TW27BA, post: 933641, member: 72319"] With the RWC only 7 months away I have never been more optimistic about the players England now have available in the back row. Gone are the dark days of the last RWC and of juggling Haskell, Robshaw, Wood, Morgan and Easter to get a dynamic aggressive unit. It never happened. Assuming Eddie goes with three of T Curry, Underhill, Wilson and Billy as first choice he is positively spoilt being able to call upon Shields, Simmonds, Mercer, B Curry, Clifford, Ewers, Kvesic as well. I'm afraid it appears Ben Morgans ship has sailed, much as I like him over Hughes who I haven't included but am sure will be in the 31 such is Eddies love for the player. I don't think there will be any late call up for Chris Robshaw, and Clifford, Ewers, and Kvesic are also huge outsiders IMO. Lawes or Itoje are more likely to fill in at blindside before any of these. Are there any late call ups that EJ might consider? Edit.... Apologies...meant to post this in the International test matches section. Could a mod move it please [/QUOTE]
