[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 399993, member: 33219"] shtove... a few things. 1. youngs & allen poor? I know youngs hasn't been in form of late but that was one of his best games since the 6N. Did nothing wrong, and kept Saints honest around the fringes. As for Allen... what did he do wrong, at all, to be considered poor? Him and Brad Barritt are about a mile ahead of any other fit 12 in the prem at the moment... I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for some sensible selections for England post world cup (no chance of it beforehand)... 9. Youngs 10. Flood 11. Ojo 12. Allen 13. Tuilagi 14. Ashton 15. Foden would be sweet as. 2. ban Tuilagi for a year? Yes he lost it, yes there was definitely intent but really, a year? Punching is still punching, whether you're throwing a jab-jab-hook combo like Manu or throwing the usual handbags that we see week in, week out. In light of the fact he wasn't punished sufficiently during the match, he should certainly receive a suspension... but throwing a few bangs merits no more than a month out. 3. Geraghty on earlier? Myler is nothing special, but at least he can appear to be able to control a game. The only reason I'd throw Geraghty on at all vs. Leinster is if they're down by 10+ with 20 to go, and he might spark something. Otherwise he can warm that bench and watch Myler kick goals and corners to keep the pressure up. [/QUOTE]
