I feel like they missed out with Cipriani, he brings way more to the table and can come on as a maverick. He can also play at 12 and 15; I'm a big fan of him and gutted he missed out but It was never going to happen for him :( Sr Farrell managed to convince Lancaster to keep Owen Farrell and say no to Cips :@

As for centres there is a lot of controversy over Sam Burgess (League convert) many say he lacks experience and just isn't good enough. Personally I am happy for him but I don't think he has proved himself enough to take that spot away from Burrell.

As for the forwards I don't have much to say as I've never experienced playing as a forward but out back row does seem to be weak compared to the likes of Wales and Australia who are also in the pool of death :( This will be a major problem in tight games as I feel as we will be constantly getting turned over.

surprised Cipriani isn't in there
he's still not a patch on Dan Biggar though
