I can't believe Marler, Brooker, Gray, Robson, Wallace, Easter, Dickson, Clegg, JTH, Lowe, Williams and Monye aren't in the team. Wales by 39.
QP - you obviously disagree with the rest of us and think the bench is just fine. As such why don't you run us through no.s 16,17,19,20 and 21 and let us know why in your opinion they should be in the team on current form.
It's not so much that I disagree, just that I find the tone of the posts amusing.
Webber - I've barely seen him play as I don't watch Wasps. I'm relying on the good judgement of Lolcaster & Co.
Stevens - is probably as good a tighthead replacement as we have, although I accept that's up for debate; he's experienced, which is to be treasured at the current time; he can play both sides as well as anyone else, although I'd only trust him at LH for the last 10 minutes of a game.
Dowson - one of the best back row forwards in England over the half a dozen years or so. I've not been that impressed with him yet, but then I wasn't that impressed with Monye's stint, Robshaw's debut, and Brown's few games. He improved against Italy yet has been dropped to the bench. Good on Lolcaster for making the tough decisions.
Youngs - form is temporary, class is permanent. He's out of sorts for sure, but when he gets back to his best it will be hard for anyone to displace him.
Flood - been there done that. One of our most experienced players.
If the England side was always picked on form over the last few weeks then it would be chopping and changing constantly.
There, I've said my two penneth. Why doesn't someone else say why they think a particular player should be ahead of an incumbent.
