[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 849174, member: 72977"] Have to agree with this. I think the back row needs and thorough examination, because apart from Scotland it was probably the weakest area during the Six Nations. Full back is another key area with Brown looking past his best. Watson is a possible replacement, but a chance to generate some depth in the position. Slade has to go and needs to develop as a suitable alternative to Farrell. Robson at SH would work for me. Care and Youngs both seem to have stagnated and aren't getting younger. FH...interesting one because you have Farrell and Ford, but Farrell has been playing at 12. Chance for someone else to impress. Locks are fine and have depth, dunno who will play though with 3 and potentially 4 locks out if Launchbury doesn't play. Seems a bit excessive looking at 5th and 6th choice. As for the front 3, Marler and Vunipola are playing well, though again maybe someone else can put their hand up. Another hooker to impress would be nice. For me in the front 3 it is looking for a replacement for Cole. I still think he gives away too many needless penalties. Overall I hope we get to see some fringe players who take their chance to claim a spot in the squad. [/QUOTE]
