Was not expecting to see that headline when I looked on the bbc sport page. 2 years ago I would have said thank god, but recently he's been one of our best players, at least most reliable, and he's been there for us with a positive attitude and calmness when youngs lost it in high pressure games or just when things went awry in general.
From here there's literally no two ways about it, simpson has to be next in line. If youngs is injured again soon which isn't unlikely we don't want to be stuck with two slow and steady 9s, we need the pace and incision of simpson. Even if mj isn't a fan of simpson his inclusin objectively makes more sense then hodgson. Do we really want to go to the world cup with wigglesworth and hodgson first choice...?
