The three quarter line up again is the achilles heel.

Out of five shirts to fill only 3 seem to hit the mark (Atkins, Briscoe, Shenton). There solid choices, but are they good enough? They are very slight, not a great deal of experience and aren't going to trouble the kiwis and ozzies greatly. And if those 3 are the elite? Oh dear. I feel this part of the team has the least quality and we will be exposed down the flanks again.

So will this be the side to play France?

If so, we appear to be a full back and a winger short.

No Lee Smith,
Is this because he won't be in league???????????

slightly surprised at one or two selections, and omissions for that matter. I think that Peter Fox and Ryan Hall can count themselves unlucky, and maybe Tony Clubb too.

Of course that's on the premise that we will be selecting the squad / team with one eye on the future as TS said...
