[QUOTE="shazbooger, post: 182064"] Your talking about the same Lamb that went AWOL everytime Tuilagi ran down his channel against Leicster? Or Croft, Lipman etc who were selected against Scotland and simply dissapeared. Rees, one of the best #7 in the NH or so Sky would have us believe, has consistently been outplayed on the international stage by some fairly average packs. Lund, Varndell, Palmer etc. I'm not saying they are poor players, but maybe, just maybe, they arent actually as good as everyone over there thinks. Your spot on about giving the guys a chance. Maybe the could grow into the roles a bit more if given a sustained run in the squad over time. To assume that the GP is anything close to the standard required to play international rugby, never mind one of the SH teams (which is a whole different level again) would be a mistake, but at least give the guys a chance to prove themselves over time. Yeah so I spose your right. There is a fundamental problem with selection in the English selection policy, but personally I think that handing over control to the clubs themselves means that the £ rules, and your international side will suffer as a result.
