[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 173422"] Oh man, biggest case of sour grapes ever! Seymour isn't **** and puts in decent performances week in week out for Saracens. If GOD* likes him, then I like him and so should Ashton too. Both Easter and Ward-Smith are out with knee trouble. Problem with Lund is, as I've said before, he had a torrid time last year at Croke Park and elsewhere, total deer in the headlights. I hope Saint-Andre has worked with him to iron that out. With all due respect, Sale's home ground is hardly Old Trafford is it? I don't have a problem with Cueto at wing, he does well at wing and unless anyone has any suggestions that doesn't involve chucking in an uncapped player in at the deep end then it should be Cueto. The center pairing fiasco is the result of the fact that we've wasted the last few years in terms of introducing new players. We've got to take a good long hard look at how we bed in players. We need to have more tests against Italy, Argentina and the Pacific island teams. Teams which are pretty damn good and can provide the challenge that we want to bed in players at a level they can manage. Instead, we're endlessly battling the Southern Hemisphere, all of which will demand our first XV, hardly the ideal environment for introducing guys like Geraghty, (Chris) Ashton, Hartley, Lamb, etc. Make the best of a poor situation, we're going to be facing Italy so why not use it to try and give the new guys game time. Pick up Geraghty or Allen from the Saxons and put them in with Flood against Italy and see what happens. *(GOD = HRH Richard Hill) [/QUOTE]
