[QUOTE="shazbooger, post: 287619"] I usually jump to Johnsons defense (why i dont know) but there are some areas that just dont make sense to me. 1. Why are England the only team to consistently ignore the role of a inside centre. Every other international team looks to put a proper 12 in place. Enblgna believe its a good spot to place another 10. If Wilkinson is the best 10, put Geraghty on the bench. If its Geraghty, put Wilko on the bench. either way, make up your mind and pick a proper backline. 2. I dont understand why you would want to experiment with Monye when you have Cueto who has, and can play at 15. Either way, you dont have anything like a back three. Where most other international sides have wingers that can play as fullbacks, its very apparent that England do not. I'd probably go for Monye, Strettle and Cueto. Banahan is not an international rugby player. No pace, **** all aggression, pointless waste of a jersey. 3. Hartley is some numpty. He always has been, will he ever calm down? You know your other second row is bad when Borthwick doesnt get a mention. I still dont understand why Kennedy isnt in there as an automatic choice. 4. Backrow balance is wrong. Haskell yes, Moody yes, Croft .......... well no. Since the warm up matches in South Africa he's done nothing outside of lineout catching. Get a proper number 8 and put Haskell back where he should be at 6. [/QUOTE]
