Just tell me yours and anyway you think mine could be improved.

Answer 1

1.Sheridan - Powerhouse and when he plays well the England forwards do.

2. Mears - Def not cemented his place but Hartley need more experience first.

3. Vickery - Better than Stevens

4. Kennedy - give this guy a chance and some exposure and he'll be up there with Matfield in a few years. great line out tactican.

5. Shaw - Great player and best lock Eng have.

6. Moody - Nightmare to play against!

7. Rees - This guy is one to watch. Does the dirrty work and a great ball winner.

8. Haskell - Great talent, speed pace power tackles anything that moves. However needs more exposure as he lacks experience and still needs to step his game up

9. Ellis - On his day he is unbelievable , and gives that threat from the base and fringes that no one else can offer. Solid tackler too. gives nothing to the opposition

10. Cipriani - Magican

11. Strettle - This guy just need to stay injury free, he ca rip defences apart and has pace to burn

12. Flutey - This guy will become key to the England backline, what a player, versatile, creative and experienced. He will be the spark of the backs, and what a combo with Cipriani.

13. Tait - Would be a massive threat outside Flutey's creativity.

14. Sackey

15. Lewsey - Solid at the back, dependable. Will get things done. Exactly what you need at 15, and has pace.

Answer 3

1: Sheridan

2: Mears

3: Stevens

4: Shaw

5: Borthwick

6: Woresly

7: Moody

8: Corry

9: Wrigglesworth

10: Wilkinson

11: Sackey

12: Flood

13: Tait

14: Vainikolo

15: Cipriani

Answer 4

Changes to yours I would make would be:

Rees to 6, Haskell to 8 and Moody to 7.

Ellis to 9

Riki Flutey at 12, his partnership with Cipriani is invaluable.

Strettle if he was in the squad to wing instead of Simpson-Daniel

I don't know if Rees and Moody are opensides or blindsides but those three players would be the back row.

Answer 7

1. Andrew Sheridan (Overhyped but still the best we have)

3. Phil Vickery (Has his critics but Matt Stevens proved against New Zealand that he isn't good enough yet)

4. Simon Shaw (Best lock we have)

5. Nick Kennedy (Deserves a chance if only because i'm unsure about Palmer)

6. Lewis Moody (Made Schalk Burger look ordinary on several occasions)

7. Tom Rees (Will be a real star in years to come)

8. James Haskell (Phenomenal player and can play at 8)

9. Harry Ellis (Best scrum half we have)

10. Danny Cipriani (A tremendous talent)

11. James Simpson-Daniel (Premiership player of the year)

12. Shane Gerraghty (If we are going to leave Wilko out then we need this mans creativity)

13. Matthew Tait (Can outpace anyone on his day)

14. Paul Sackey (A really impressive try scorer)

15. Josh Lewsey (Question marks have been raised over his ability these days but he is still better than anyone else we have)
