[QUOTE="Boomfunk91, post: 383940, member: 48115"] Matt Banahan should be nowhere near the England team as a centre, he is just about useful on the wing and even that is pushing it. Hape is not an international centre, and in all honesty England need Tindall at 13 even if he is only there as an experienced leader and calming influence. Tindall has been around for a long time and is I think very reliable, it was clear we missed him against Ireland. Riki Flutey is a must for the World Cup, a creative player who has and can play at 10, someone who I think could take a huge amount of pressure off Floody's shoulders. Manu Tuilagi comes up a lot as a player who could make an immediate impact, but I think it would be stupid to introduce too early to the international scene, although a definite for the WC squad as back-up to Tins. Shame that Olly Barkley was injured last week, as it is going to take him a long time to fully recover from a second awful leg break, another player who could have made an impact at the world cup. Just throwing this out there - Jon Clarke from Northampton could make the step up, a player who has had a top season. [/QUOTE]
