Cipriani Moved to the Elite

[Prestwick]

In my mind Hartley is the hotter international prospect and Chuter is the proven performer after being Steve Thompson's understudy.

Simple economics really.

I like the way you think

tom croft is having a stormer this year, and shoudve made the 6 shirt his for the AI's at least. haskell is a good player, but has been playing 8 and playing badly,so might get a bench place, as he could probably cover all backrow positions at a push. rees is a definate at 7 i think (havent seen lipman this season though) and crane or narroway for 8 should be a good selection

The safe thing to say is that the backrow as a unit seems to work whether you have Easter or Narraway (Crane is an unknown quantity), Lipman or Rees and Haskell or Croft.

Cipriani has been moved into replace Johnny Wilkinson, for me this is a superb move by Johnno... Hopefully he will make a huge impact... and one big enough to keep Wilko out of the squad[/b]

Sorry mate, he had no impact apart from 2 charged down kicks. HEs below par. Bring back goode
