Shenton
Hall

We'll need some power and size coming off the bench to match the Kiwis

Plus Wilkin who can then fill in in the Halves, Second Row, Loose or Hooker

and yet you put westwood on the bench

Smith
Briscoe
Ellis
Shenton
Hall
Tomkins

IMO Lee Smith offers alot more from fullback than Briscoe

1- briscoe
2- smith
3-eastmond
4-shenton
5-hall
6-mcguire
7-tomkins
8-morley
9-moore
10-peacock
11-ellis
12-graham
13-sinfield
14-carvell
15-westwood
16-crabtree
17-burgess

To beat the kiwis we need a big moblie pack and our best players on the pitch from the start.

1- Briscoe
2- Smith/Briscoe
3- Gleeson/Smith
4- Shenton
5- Hall
6- Tomkins
7- Eastmond
8- Graham
9- Sinfield
10- Peacock
11- Ellis
12- Westwood
13- Burgess

14- Crabtree
15- Carvell
16- Morley
17- Roby

Would prefer to have brought in Brough and Gleeson.

whatever side he picks i feel for england to have any chance against the kiwi's we need to get into them from the 1st whistle! and i mean we need to be as aggressive as we can because if we let the kiwi's run all over us then were done for i.m.o our forwards need to muscle up big time especially peacock who i thought had a poor game against the aussies

I say give Eastmond and Tomkins a go. They may be inexperienced, but they're the most promising young british half backs for a [ilong[/i time.

If they sink, its not like our international record's going to look any worse, if they swim, which they may well do given their natural ability, then happy ing days. (for everyone apart from the Saints board, who are currently watching Eastmond's wage demands go up and up)

Myler hasn't got much of a mention here, is he an option or have the performances of tompkins and eastmond been good enough to keep him out?

Without doubt. Tomkins and Eastmond both showed last Saturday that they can play against the Australians and cause them problems more so than Myler who lets be honest has only played against France twice and Wales. Having said that we havent seen Myler against eithier Australia or New Zealand. I am pleased with the strength in depth of the half backs but its the centres we need to bring through new talent and prop because Morley and Peacock arent going to be around forever.
