[QUOTE="Patchey, post: 582975, member: 61403"] Rat that was some powerful photoshopping right there. Might make that my desktop background. Guys like Slade, Clifford and Sisi have already put in some good LV performances, Clifford in particular. I think out of the U20 squad from the JWC they are the most likely to be involved in the England set up by 2015. Some of the other current U20s may mature a bit later. The really encouraging thing for English rugby is after this summer we have a huge depth of talent. Not only the stand out U20s guys coming through but also the players from Argentina and some guys in the Premiership *cough* Daly *cough* who didn't get a look in. If you look at all of the teams people have listed above there are players 'missing' in each squad who arguably should be there. For example putting Launchbury and Parling in the row and Atwood on the bench still leaves Lawes, Myall and Slater as players who have been around the England setup this year and easily have the ability to challenge for a starting spot. A few years ago we weren't in this position. The EPS was a much more exclusive group and there was less quality competition for starting spots. [/QUOTE]
