Not really sure why you would single watkins out from that.

We can't just ban folk for having an opinion I'm afraid.

Even one as potentially schizophrenic as this fellas.

Watkins will play next week.
Sarginson to full back.
Percival to left centre.
Williams to scrum half.
The pack more or less the same, maybe Farrel for Bateman.

Why can't we ban someone who is clearly trolling the board and never takes part in any genuine discussion?

Ok there will be changes , but what did Lomax do wrong to merit losing his place to a woeful Sarginson ?

Agree, Sarginson was gash and looks like 40/20

Sarginson is a grand final winning full back. Lomax isnt.

Mark Flanagan is a grand final winning halfback, Luke Gale isn't - I'm not really sure of your point.

Always knew we were missing a trick not picking Ian '5 GF Rings' Kirke for England.

Lee Smith is a Harry Sunderland award winning Grand Final winning full back. We should pick him.

At least is he's the last line of defence, it will take their players so long to run around him it will give the rest of the England players time to get back and make a tackle.

And you're an award winning half wit. Now jog on back to the 80's

Watkins might not have been at his electrifying best, but he wasn't as e as sarginson, can that bloke even pass left??? As for lomax, England have a fb problem, I didn't think he was the answer, he maybe still isn't, but he was alright at the weekend, didn't do anything to warrant loosing his spot

No point in isolating individual players in a game lost by such a small margin. The team needs to work better as a unit, to play better than the sum of its parts. Micro-managing at the level of individuals isn't going to provide the necessary change, especially given the quality of the talent sitting on the sidelines. This is the real test of Bennett's coaching qualities IMO.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bennett makes a few changes vs Scotland. We've seen in previous series the problems caused by sticking with a team and hoping for the best. In such a short series you don't want to be bringing players in for the last game who haven't yet played (especially vs Aus).

I said before this series started that I think Bennett will be mainly using it to see who steps up and who doesn't. We may not see the full flow on from that until next year. I don't think Bennett necessarily thinks we can beat Aus/NZ at full strength and in form, but he'll want to put out a side which plays to its best in the big games.
