[QUOTE="msf, post: 742136, member: 72153"] Ugh. Is this really the best they could come up with? I think Lancaster has been a better manager (because that´s what he is) than Johnson, although that wouldn´t be hard, but this selection is just as unimaginative as the one for the 2011 world cup. Burgess is the new Tuilagi (as Lancaster has said), with Slade being the only wildcard. This the squad we could have had, just by including players Lancaster chose to exclude for reasons other than ability/form: Brown Abendanon Nowell Watson Tuilagi Joseph Barritt Slade Ford Farrell Care Youngs Wigglesworth Morgan Vunipola Robshaw Wood Armitage Lawes Launchbury Parling Kruis Brookes Cole Wilson Hartley Youngs George Marler Vunipola Now, which squad is better? Come on, be honest, it´s this one, isn´t it? [/QUOTE]
