[QUOTE="will311293, post: 1071741, member: 73664"] So i made two XVs out of the current England Squad just to see what we could pick theortically. Obviously can't get 3 XVs out of that so from the 3XV down you start seeing players who we could theortically pick (I've still given priority to those who are selected in the squad in their position for realism) 1XV: Marler, LCD, Sinckler, Itoje, Hill, Lawes, Curry, Dombrandt, Youngs, Smith, Slade, Tuilagi, May, OHC, Steward 2XV: Genge, George, Stuart, Ewels, Isiekwe, Barbeary, Ludlham, Simmonds , Quirke, Ford, Farrell, Marchant, Nowell, Daly, Malins 3XV: Rodd, Blamire, Heyes, Launchbury, Kruis, Chessum, Underhill, J Willis, Randall, Bailey, Atkinson, Northmore, Radwan, Freeman, Furbank So i had to include J Willis, Underhill, Radwan, Kruis, Launchbury to get a XV and then use Freeman at wing as Jones says he sees him there. However, when you expand 4XV: M Vunipola, Singleton, Collier, Ribbans, Martin, Earl, T Hill, B Vunipola, Robson, Simmonds, Kelly, Odogwu, Loader, Thorley, Watson 5XV: Obano, Frost, H Williams, Stooke, Slater, B Curry, Chick, T Willis, Mitchell, Umaga, Lozoswki, Lawrence, Bassett, Murley, Parton 6XV: West, Thacker, Cole, Wells, McNally, Reid, M Wilson, Shields, Spencer, F Smith, Ojomah, O'Connor, O'Flaherty, Sleightholme, L James 7XV: Moon, Dunn, Phainter, Atwood, Symons, Rogerson, Evans, Hughes, J Maunder, Grayson, Devoto, Dingwall, Potter, Porter, Crossdale So i have gone overboard but when i looked down the depth chart.... There are a number in that team especially in the 4XV & 5XV that you would not be upset at having in the squad. The fact that the likes of B Curry, T Willis, Collier, Robson and even European player of the Year J Simmonds can't get a look in is a joke. I'm sure there are a few you would mix up but there is a lot of talent out there... although.... i'd say that Lock is defo an ageing group. [/QUOTE]
