[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 282214"] [url="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/english/8299259.stm"]http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_unio...ish/8299259.stm[/url] This is very irritating. Tom Rees arrived on the scene in 2007 and made some decent but not outstanding performances for England. After the world cup, he was to be one of the cornerstones of our new, young team. He had a good 6Nations in 2008, and then went on to have an excellent tour of New Zealand in 2008. Despite the fact that we got hammered both times, the breakdown was one of the areas we were close to parity, thanks to the work of Rees and an in-form Haskell. In spite of everything I thought Rees had a good Autumn series in 2008 too. It looked like we had a 7 who was developing into one of the better 7s in the world. Then, injury. Out of 2009 6N, out all summer, and now he's out of the AIs too. Yet another f***ing injured England player. Cipriani too... no one would pick him for the AIs but at least he's had a great start to the season. Once more cut short as he will spend 6 weeks on the sidelines. Now for 7, I would give Will Skinner a shot seeing as he's bloody well earned it. Steffon Armitage is also a good option. However, Johnson will pick Moody. [/QUOTE]
