[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1002714, member: 59968"] Dombrandt hasn’t been in good form since the restart. I’m a huge fan and I’d like to see him in an an England jersey, but if we’re picking on form, he’d be lower down the list right now. I’ve said elsewhere that Billy can only be included if we’re basing it on past form (and it’s a long while since he was playing better than OK). IMO, there’s simply no way you could fairly put him in the squad based upon his listless displays since the restart. He spent a lot of time on The Good, The Bad, The Rugby talking about being more focused and ‘on it’, but if anything he’s looked less so and he hasn’t adapted well to the stricter interpretation of the breakdown. He’s been a liability for Saracens in that sense. I think we’re potentially going to experiment with a fluid back row made up of 3 flankers where shirt numbers are insignificant. Any combination of Curry, Underhill, Willis and Earl works for me. Without doubt the form quartet IMO. 3 on the pitch, one in the bench. [/QUOTE]
