C-man Posted 11 April 2005 Share Posted 11 April 2005 How he picked Cusiter ahead of Harry Ellis and Charlie Hodgson ahead of Andy Goode is beyond me otherwise not a bad team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 11 April 2005 Share Posted 11 April 2005 but wilko left out until he can prove his fitness 91491[/snapback] I'm not surprised to be honest; he's been really unlucky with injuries, but if I was choosing, I'd much rather have a fully fit squad to choose from, than risk any more injuries on Wilkinson. Having said that, if he can prove his fitness, he'll no doubt be a significant factor in this tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellman Posted 11 April 2005 Share Posted 11 April 2005 I'm in English and all but it's good to see lots of Welsh rugby boys in there. Atleast they haven't gone with all the well known players that haven't been performing and going with players that have been doing well TAKE NOTE SVEN!

toonboy Posted 11 April 2005 Share Posted 11 April 2005 cant rule geordan murphy out either 91623[/snapback] there was no out-ruling but he will probably be behind williams in the pecking order aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted 11 April 2005 Author Share Posted 11 April 2005 yeah , i think his big attrobute is that he can play wing or full back , i think cueto hasnt been picked as he isnt versatile enough to move inside to full back or centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-man Posted 11 April 2005 Share Posted 11 April 2005 I would go with: 1- Rowntree 2- Byrne 3- White 4- O' Connell 5- Kay 6- Moody 7- Back 8- Corry 9- Peel 10- Jones 11- Lewsey 12- Henson 13- O' Driscoll 14- Robinson 15- Murphy That team would beat the all blacks easy!

Sparky Posted 11 April 2005 Author Share Posted 11 April 2005 its interesting to see who he plays at centre to partner o driscoll , gavin henson is probably ahead at the moment but on his day darcy is awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Lewis Moody as good as he is i don't think he's the man to stop Richie McCaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Lewis Moody as good as he is i don't think he's the man to stop Richie McCaw. 91669[/snapback] i think lewis moody should be given the chance, as dallaglio has been poor all season. Moody has been outstanding however, and should be in that starting line up to face NZ in the first test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burger Posted 12 April 2005 Share Posted 12 April 2005 Harry Ellis is in the squad, it was on sky sports news and experts were saying how happy they were he and Olly Smith were picked. But on the sky sports site it has the same line up as the one sparky posted! I guess we'll have to wait and see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
