[QUOTE="NickBD, post: 952383, member: 72642"] Teo never really looked great for England ( I know he had a great Lions tour but never did for Eng). Only reason he was picked because he was Manu lite. Hughes did start well in 2015 to be fair to EJ but since 2016 he’s been bad, like you say a wasted cap. If Shields was fit he’d have gone over Ludlam, you never want players injured but Shield didn't deserve to go. He had a couple of good games against Aus and NZ in autumn but was mostly average. He should have never been rushed in. Like most squads will be players who played the whole 4 year cycle and lose out at the last min to younger better players but the 3 above doesn’t feel that way it does feel like a waste rather then anything else.
