Once it is trimmed correctly, and so long as Johnson gets the combinations right on the day there is certainly enough biff about it to do quite well. Stevens rightful or wrongful return will strengthen an already strong front row but otherwise I wouldn't expect too many changes. On the subject of the colonials keen to represent England, I would be bothered if they were keeping world class players out of the team, but to be frank, they aren't. I'd have probably have had Twelvetrees in there ahead of one of the kiwi centres but I'd be lying if I thought he was the answer to England's midfield. Apart from probably Robshaw I think most the stand out talent is in the team already. The other hopefuls are just that, hopefuls.</p></blockquote><p></p>
