Englands infamous Strength in depth
First topic message reminder :
Ive often disagreed that we have this much famed strength in depth. I questioned that we may have the numbers but lacked the players at a certain level to come in and do a certain job.
Suddenly however I think this is changing. This series we have lost some key players...and yet the players we have replaced them with...have played superb.
Now the system may have much to do with it..but nevertheless...we are starting to develop the real genuine strength in depth...
Would you agree with the below?
Englands "Proven" Options
LH - Mako, Marler, Mullan
Ho - Hartley, George (Jurys out - LCD)
TH - Cole, Sinkler, (Jurys out - Hill, Brookes)
Lock - Lawes, Itoje, Kruis, Launchbury
Flank - Haskell, Robshaw, Wood, (Jurys out - Clifford, Harrison)
No.8 - Billy, Hughes, Ben Morgan
SH - Youngs, Care
FH - Ford, Farrell
12 - Farrell, (Jurys out - Teo)
13 - Joseph, Daly, Manu
Wing - May, Watson, Roko, Yarde, Nowell
FB - Brown (Jurys out - Goode)

Interesting posting times to be sure. 03:49 suggests working at nights or maybe living overseas, like NZ...
