    No Mike Brown?

    That takes the hateability factor down a notch.

    So, will it be Ford/Farrell or Farrell/12/Tuilagi

    No way Tuilagi is not turning out at 13. Eddie has been dying to have him back.

    A lot of love in the press for a Farrell/Slade/Tuilagi.

    I didn't say it had died out altogether!
    There's something about Farrell that gets to me as well. I can never pinpoint it.
    Mind you, if Ashton gets to do one of his dorky swan dives......

    20 year-old Tom Curry's the only player there remotely like an Openside Flanker.

    Yep, all the others are basically 6s. Yeah Mercer has played a lot of 8 but not so much at senior level and he's not been tearing the place up. Wilson has been solid and has a bit of dog about him. Shields has done sweet FA in the UK and hardly shone in SA during the summer. We've left our best available 8 (Morgan) and 7 (Underhill) out altogether. Curry aside we've gone for biggish, slowish munters. Oh and we've been mullered at the breakdown for a season and a half.

    Fuck. Just, fuck.

    The Cheika/Jones never evolve school of selection. It worked well enough to get into rwc final/a massive winning streak, so it will still work now years later -despite all evidence and recent results to the contrary. Sixes as sevens & pooper ftw!

    I'm guessing that means we get to see Ashton at fullback. This could be hilarious, can't wait.

    Hopefully not. Put Slade in at 12, he's got a very good cut out pass which will be the only way the wingers will see the ball if Tuilagi is at 13...

    @mikethesnow Jack Nowell can also play fullback but Elliott Daly is the more likely bet.

    England's backline strategy looks to be powerful guys in the midfield, fast men outside them.
