[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 413705, member: 34990"] While I agree in principle, I don't agree with some of your replacements :p I'd have Matt Mullan in over Golding, he's been playing well for Worcester and then performed for the Saxons too - Will also have a bit of cohesion with Stevens from the Saxons too Attwood would be there, but he's out injured until the end of the summer, so couldn't take part in any warm ups or training camps Borthwick shouldn't be anywhere near any side I disagree on Fourie, think he's played very well for Leeds - However I don't get his inclusion - He's a straight up 7, and he's not going to be Englands starting 7, so he's not very good for the bench spot. Gaskells not a very good Flanker though (though could be alright off the bench as cover for lock/flank) Agree on the rest, especially the centres (though Waldouck is out injured for a while after doing his Achilles in) - I also don't understand Armitages inclusion, wasn't performing for LI this season, hasn't performed for England since his debut season (2009 Six Nations, was it?) - Mike Brown has been on fire this season, Goode and Burns would also be better choices (especially if Johnson is looking for players who aren't just a fullback, as they both play 10, much like Armitage playing 13) [/QUOTE]
