[QUOTE="nick_w, post: 179914"] Spot on. England need to show that "Le Crunch" victory was not a flash in the pan. Ashton has got to break the mould here, take some risks and use some young blood. Its good to see Care and Sinbad in the squad, but I hope they aren't there just to make up the numbers. Simpson-Daniel has always had a strong case for England, and Danny Care has been knocking on the door since last October. My choice for the starting 22; 15- Cipriani 14- Simpson Daniel 13- Flood 12- Tait 11- Vainikolo 10- Wilkinson 9- Care 8- Narraway 7- Croft 6- Haskell 5- Borthwick 4- Shaw 3- Sheridan 2- Mears 1- Vickery Some surprises, but let me explain. Firstly Cipriani at Full Back. He played here when he first started at Wasps and its a good way to induct him into the international game without putting him under the pressures of working at Fly Half. Tait in the centre. He hasn't been given much of a chance in this years 6n, and he has more to add to the game than Noon does (well, thats what I think). Vainikolo still in the team. Despite his age, I think if he comes off the wing more, and if the centers involve him more I think he could have a devastating impact. You only have to look at his work at Gloucester (esp whenever he got the ball against Quins yesterday) to see that he puts fear into opponents. Wilkinson still in the team. Simply because i don't think Cipriani is ready yet, and Charlie Hodgson (despite his brilliance at Sale) seems to struggle at international level. [/QUOTE]
