Guess you are not a big fan of having an International game then!???
Thats not what i meant, the squad announced, IMO, isn't a world beater. It has already been stated that some players have been left out and other included, when they shouldn't have been. But who am I to judge our national coach. Then again I firmly believe that a club coach shouldn't be the national coach!

Tend to agree.
At least he is trying differant players!
Who do you think should have been picked that is not in the squad?

It would be good if we give Shenton the experience, play Eastmond at centre against France and then go with Sykes against the better sides for his size.
that looks like a rubbish squad to me although no matter who he'd picked i cant imagine it would look all that much better with the players available...

Spot on, we aren't blessed with talent at centre at all at the moment. So we will have to go with what we have got. Bridge has actually been one of our most consistant performers this year, although i would select Smith and Shenton ahead of him.
Its good and fresh to have the likes Tomkins, Eastmond and Myler in. It will further to develop them, with one eye on the World Cup in 2012.
