well, that's 'interesting'...
Happy to see Dingwall get a go. Can he do it? Will he get 2 games to try out as a 12 then get dropped in an MSmith-esque relegation. I'm in no doubt Slade is orders of magnitude better than me, but I'm still happy to see him Far Far Away, though we may need more of a Bangin' Man than Dingwall to replace him. At least Bostik has described DIngers as a glue player, which seems to be the role he performs for Saints.
JvP back for Randall is no great shock. JvP was quite an attacking, sniping young scrum half before it was coached out of him; it would be nice to see him back to that sort of a game.
Daly? Humph.
A complete back row on the bench is interesting; hope Ted Hill enjoys his 15 seconds of fame this week.
I really rated Fin Smith at Worcester and he's obviously kicked on since then at Saints; he's a terrific player, but why he's suddenly better than MSmith is a mystery. If his career follows a similar trajectory, England will be in front when F is subbed off, then blamed in the media for the subsequent defeat.
