[QUOTE="welshglory, post: 661135, member: 38673"] I believe that if there were true world class options England would select them. Mccaw, George Smith, Hooper, O'Brien , Louw. Truely world class 7's and specific strengths in their games. I'm sorry but Kvesic, Seymour are not in the same league. Luke wallace, Fraser are also not good enough. When Kvesic starts to have some crackers like Hooper did with the Brumbies before his Australian debut and shows more than just promise then he will be more involved. Tom Rees would have been (and pretty much was) a mainstay in the English set up had he not been injured all the time and then subsequently retired. By the way England wouldn't select Warburton or Tipuric either. They're not that much better than the current options for England. Basically the English 7 options are not better than the current incumbents who are comfortable enough on either flank because of the style of the premiership and in general English rugby. [/QUOTE]
