[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 137104"] Words simply cannot describe the sheer disappointment and frustration at this selection. Seeing players consistently under perform and cause Ashton serious stress related problems, only to see them continue onto the final thirty. At the same time to see talented guys such as Flood & Cipriani lose out is nothing short of criminal. Ashton has put his money on age and (alleged) experience rather than on form. Unless Tom Rees can recover in time for the next warm up game in five days we will have problems against France. If Ashton opts to play Dallaglio from the start instead of Easter and Dallaglio fades like he did in the match just gone, we will have serious problems. At the end of the day, the squad has been picked and with this we can make bangers and mash. There is no point in being overly mean and nasty but if Ashton had given us guys like Geraghty, Cipriani and Jon Clarke (Northampton) then we could have made something like an Italian risotto with fresh tiger prawns for a Michilan Star restaurant.
