[QUOTE="will311293, post: 1033520, member: 73664"] I really hope Eddie not only looks to the future for this tour but picks on form. Players like Piers O'Connor, Dombrandt, OHC, Parton, Simmonds x2, Smith, W Evans have been playing out their skins and deserve a shot. I wouldn't even be against giving any of the 'Big' England players the summer off. However, i think it's important that Mark Wilson goes on tour, i reckon he adds a lot more to the squad than we give him credit for. He does a lot of grunt work but has that coalface, hard graft approach to rugby and for me instils a bit of mettle and rigour to the team. Real team player and potential captain just based off the fact he gets players to work harder around him by showing commitment. I'd be happy if he packed down with Dombrandt/Simmonds and Hill/Evans/Earl to give some senior advice and calm. All up for having a young, talented squad buy maybe the likes of M Wilson, Robson, Nowell even a Cole (if we feel reminiscent) to add that senior touch and calm head. I wouldn't even be against Care going just so we had someone to manage a young fly half like Smith/Atkinson. [/QUOTE]
