[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 952425, member: 73592"] Agreed, of those we're taking, only Wilson could viably have been capped any earlier than he was. Of those we're not taking Dombrand isn't ready yet, Simmonds has been injured, Mercer and Clifford have been found wanting in training, Kvesic has been found wanting in scouting (not helped by spending the best part of 2 years outside of club XVs), Hughes and Shields have been found wanting at international level, Robshaw and Haskell are in their twilight years. Of those 9, only 2 represent significant experience left behind. I'll agree that Wilson and Morgan could have been given more caps - but Eddie obviously just doesn't like something about Morgan; and I don't recall anyone seriously proposing Wilson much before he was capped - he was simply 4-5 injuries down the list, but took to international rugby like a duck to water.
