[QUOTE="stormmaster1, post: 166716"] I don't think Ashton has left the door open for Dallaglio. He said he will pick the best on form players in each position. So Dallaglio's out. Lots of talk about which young promising players to include, but i think we should also think which of the older heads should stay. T'Eh Mite's team looked good on paper, but so much inexperience learning test match rugby at the same time wouldn't work. So which of the older heads would you lot like to see around the squad (whether 1st XV or benched). leadership will be key to bring on any young squad, and i think experience in the front 5 and at half back is most desirable. Of the more seasoned players availible, i'd like to see the front row remain similar, particularly Stevens and Sheridan. Vickery, Corry and Wilko were the key leader figures in the side in the WC and should be in the mix up. There are several experienced locks to choose from and in the back row i think i'd keep Moody as he's more dynamic than Worsley. I think that would be the core of the side (i.e. most of the pack), with the young talent really in positions where they can lift the pace. The difficulty will be getting some experience in the backline, as wilkinson and catt have been the two key figures for this. [/QUOTE]
