Pick one guy per nation.

[goodNumber10]

you vastly overestimate the effectiveness of doing a looparound every single phase

lol!!

 

[TheSaffycen]

He ruined it by not picking an Argentine player though. Or am I missing a sure bet world XV English prop?

Corbisiero if fit will be great. Marler is also coming on leaps and bounds, then you have some young guys coming through.

 

[Peat]

I think for Argentine I'd take Lobbe on general principles. Why wouldn't you want him?

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Ah sure its not 2011 anymore we've moved on now. And actually the fact that its helped win 2 Hcups, 1 challenge cup 1 Pro12 and 1 6N would suggest otherwise.

to be fair, dude, you were still looping good and proper last six nations! (and yes, to be fair, it's been pretty successful!)

The thing about the loop is it always comes back round!

Sexton is not world class lol

Why!!!!!!

I'll be honest I only see English clubs play in the HEC or whatever the new name is and then the test side where I can't recall him being around recently. Euro challenge or what. I was under the impession Maku Vunipola was England's 1st choice LH prop.

I don't expect SA to be running with Beast and Jannie for much longer as well TBH. If the RWC were one more year away we wouldn't be seeing them. As is I expect HM will stick with them simply because of time constraints. TBF our newbies probably could do with two more years before starting tests.

Was far to tempting not too.

Corbisiero has been injured, on and off, for about two years now, which allowed Vunipola (and Marler) to stake their claim.
He came back towards the tail end of last season and was then given the whole summer off to prepare for this year and looks much the better for it. Hopefully he's past his injuries (though I'm sure he some degenerative thing going on in his knees, which is ****) but he'll be England's first choice when he's next in the EPS.

Sexton is not world class lol

I'm nowhere near his biggest fan but he'd start for any team in the world bar the All Blacks....

 

[TheSaffycen]

I would take Cooper over him personally.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I would take Cooper over him personally.

Personally, fair enough. I'd take consistency over yo-yo-ing in and out of form myself. I also think Sexton is the better of the two players at their best, Cooper couldn't have won the '11 HEC final in my opinion.

 

[TheSaffycen]

I don't think that Sexton would have carried a team like the reds in 2011. Also orchestrated a 25-20 win against New Zealand in the same year, but I agree he has terrible consistency but on his day is much better than Sexton.

 

[Big Ewis]

I do think Sexton is overrated too. I'm not saying he's actually uninteresting, just ppl have rated him too high. And Cooper does have a much more attractive face err game when at his best. Sexton isn't extraordinary in his game, he's got no big flaw and is consistent and does everything quite well but never becomes overwhelmingly good. Cooper can be surreal when he's on form, and over a number of full games not just one lucky half.
