[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 270815"] I saw Turner-Hall myself in the flesh against the Baa-Baas, he was given his chance and failed to take it. I too think he should be given a chance in the EPS but he hasn't exactly made it easy on himself over the summer. I don't think the likes of Kennedy and Foden have done anything wrong to merit them dropping down but whyyyyyyy is Louis Deacon in there? When has he [i]ever[/i] performed for England? Ever? The selection policy seems a bit confused. Some old wood is still there or has been brought in while other dead wood has been left lying around with the Saxons. Some French based players are there while others have been cast out. Confusing. On a subtle, subliminal level the pressure on Toby Flood now must be intense. Everyone knows Wilkinson is going to break [i]something[/i] in August and seeing as Danny Cipriani can't run a game against Harlow Rams RFC let alone A or Senior sides I don't think Johnno will be in too much of a rush to recall him in the event of injury. To paraphrase John Kerry, christ, how do you tell someone that they're going to be the last England fly half in the squad? EDIT: Interestingh question: Morgan or Tait to be on the bench as back up full back for Armitage? [/QUOTE]
