[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 137040"] FORWARDS (16) Steve Borthwick (Bath Rugby) - Has been nothing short of average every time he has put on the shirt in recent times, but he plays for bath so gets the nod. God help us. George Chuter (Leicester Tigers) - Meh. Martin Corry (Leicester Tigers) - He simply cannot perform at international level and is officially the least successful, therefore worst, leader the national side has ever had. Lawrence Dallaglio (London Wasps) - It was inevitable. But he is the most important player in the history of the world, so how could he be left out? Horrible Italian c***. Nick Easter (Harlequins) - Absolutely no problem with his inclusion. Now, he MUST be played every game. Perry Freshwater (Perpignan) - A great backup prop, could even do the business as a starter. Ben Kay (Leicester Tigers) - Why? Oh yeah, because he's previously won a world cup so must be worthy, even though Deacon at Leicester always outplays him... Lee Mears (Bath Rugby) - We may have a shortage of Hookers ATM, but the only one in England worse then him is Regan. Lewis Moody (Leicester Tigers) - And a 14 man England loose yet another game because of a late penalty given away. Tom Rees (London Wasps) - That's more like it. Mark Regan (Bristol Rugby) - Gets regularly out shoved in the scrum, cannot through a lineout to save his life and, as so perfectly described by Barnes', could irritate a Buddhist monk. Simon Shaw (London Wasps) - Has looked good in recent weeks, fair play to him. Andrew Sheridan (Sale Sharks) - Is presently looking good, so is bound to get injured. Matt Stevens (Bath Rugby) - A player from Bath that's worthy of a call up on merit rather then which club he plays for. Phil Vickery © (London Wasps) - Old, past it, not very good, squandered a golden opportunity to win against France. Of course he deserves a call up. Joe Worsley (London Wasps) - Doesn't even need ridicule. Simply shouldn't be there, especially in place of Haskell. BACKS (14) Olly Barkley (Bath Rugby) - Can kick, can't play. BAD BAD selection. Flood misses out because of Bath nepotism. <_< Mike Catt (London Irish) - Has proven he's presently the best 12 who's been considered, being as Gloucester players aren't allowed, therefore Allen will never get his chance. Mark Cueto (Sale Sharks) - Hasn't done f-all for a couple of years now, not a good start. Will probably be played at 15 instead of on the wing, which is another stupid move.

Jamie Noon (Newcastle Falcons) - Great in defence, although he's not much use in attack. In an ideal world he'll be a last 10 minutes impact sub to close out a game, but he'll probably be a first choice 13. Shaun Perry (Bristol Rugby) - Why exactly are people banging on about him so much? Peter Richards (Gloucester Rugby) - Presently England's best 9, so expect him to be 3rd choice. Jason Robinson (Sale Sharks) - Can still get the job done, was never in doubt that he'd go, let us prey he plays at full back. Paul Sackey (London Wasps) - A highly intelligent selection, I expect him to have a fantastic game against the USA before getting dropped for no reason. Mathew Tait (Newcastle Falcons) - Meh. Alright if there's a mid-week 7s tournament. Jonny Wilkinson (Newcastle Falcons) - Was never in doubt, not half the player he once was, but please lord! Don't get him injured, we only have Ollie "useless c***" Barkley remaining otherwise! :o CUT (8) Nick Abendanon (Bath Rugby) - Had a great game against France, possibly deserved a chance. A shame for him and possibly England. Ironic Baths' player in the training squad gets cut however... Danny Cipriani (London Wasps) - Maybe too young? Should be the 1st choice by the time New Zealand 2011 comes along. Toby Flood (Newcastle Falcons) - STUPID, STUPID, STUPID BATH NEPOTISM. F*** OFF ASHTON.

Mike Tindall (Gloucester Rugby) - Looked good in recent months before his broken leg, but probably couldn't hack it any more at the top level. Kevin Yates (Saracens) - Erm... Who? So, out of that lot, what sort of team could be strong? 1. Sheridan 2. Chuter 3. Stevens 4. Shaw 5. Kay 6. Corry (This squad is very light on back row players) 7. Rees 8. Easter 9. Richards 10. Wilkinson 11. Lewsey 12. Catt © 13. Hipkiss 14. Sackey 15. Robinson 16. Mears 17. Freshwater 18. Borthwick 19. Corry 20. Gommersall 21. Noon 22. Cueto God help us. [/QUOTE]
