Time to start mixing it up... give these boys a go on Saturday Frank - what can you lose? Look how the English new boys performed on Sunday - frighteningly good. We're looking ahead to the world cup now - who cares whether we get the wooden spoon - we need to try out some new faces (mind you, Wales should lose to England anyway).

Glad someone else made the point about how well Strettle, Flood and Geraghty performed on Sunday - was a bit scared to mention it! Having watched Strettle in particular bring the Twickenham crowd to its feet every five mins isn't it about time that FH recognised the diverse range of skills that sevens players can bring to the fifteens game and gave Thom a chance to show what he can do? There are many positive similarities between the way he and Strettle play - why, given that Strettle has proved himself an inspired (and now obvious) choice for England, couldn't we have Paterson at fly-half and put Thom and Sean on the wings?

Godman suggests that Dan is gone and Walker and Evans could be possible replacements for Southwell. Morrsion could be for Di Rollo. MacDougall is also a centre?????
