[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 346718, member: 34990"] Forwards are probably on the mark (if Ward-Smith is called up, which i don't know if he will) Care can be hit or miss, some games he'll be good and/or be good coming off the bench (i.e the second test against Australia, where he came on for Youngs in the second half) but can also be really slow. If you were going to use Wilkinson at 10, you really need people around him to push him forwards/speed up the game. People say he hasn't been good since around the 03 world cup (well, people who watch rugby not just read the tabloids :lol: ) and look at who he had around him bossing him then: Dawson and Greenwood, two great players with real intensity. He wasn't getting that with Ellis/Noon in more recent times. Banahan i'm not sure, he's decent but Ashton is way better Tindall yes, Hape no. He's a liability (dodgy tackling) not too fast, alright offloading, alright positioning. Waldouck is much better. Agree with 14/15 as well [/QUOTE]
