[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1161526, member: 59968"] May has already said he’s retiring from test rugby. On the others, I totally agree and I think the majority of them will call it a day anyway. I can definitely see Marler, Lawes, Cole, Youngs, Care and Tuilagi retiring after next Friday’s game. The trickier ones are those that are young enough to stay involved but should be moved on. Your point on Sinckler is entirely fair - the trouble is, he options to replace him are pretty non-existent. Stuart and Heyes are OK, but after that, there isn’t really anyone close to being ready. Maybe Schickerling (who is eligible next month)? We have Harper and Fasogbon coming through but we may need someone like Collier to step in for the short term. There’s no justification to keep picking Daly when there are at least 4 younger options who are at the very least his equal (Murley, Radwan, Freeman, OHC). For the same reason, I can’t really see the point of Malins? He’s not old, but he just isn’t that good. [/QUOTE]
