Which 10 backs would make your matchday 22 (and should therefore definitely be in the World Cup squad)?
606v2 picks the England World Cup squad: "Core" Backs
Martin Johnson World Cup training squad announcement a couple of weeks ago got us all talking about who should be there/shouldn't be there/should go to the World Cup/shouldn't go to the World Cup etc. Now that the heat has died down a little bit and the squad has had a bit of time to sink in, who do we think should make the final 30? Over the next few weeks I'll post a series of polls so that we can select a 30 man World Cup squad.
Current squad- as chosen by you:
Props: Dan Cole, Alex Corbisiero, Andrew Sheridan, Matt Stevens
Hookers: Dylan Hartley, Lee Mears, Steve Thompson
Locks: Louis Deacon, Courtney Lawes, Tom Palmer
Back row: Tom Croft, Nick Easter, James Haskell, Lewis Moody, Chris Robshaw, Tom Wood
Bit of a delay since the last article (been busy, sue me), but Chris Robshaw won the vote against Simon Shaw to take his place in the World Cup squad and complete the forwards.
Been thinking about how best to pick the backs (what with some people wanting Foden to cover at 9, Flutey to cover at 10, is Banahan a centre or a wing etc), so this is how we're going to do it. Pick your 10 backs who would be in a matchday 22. The top 10 backs selected in this poll will be put into the World Cup squad. We'll then use the remaining 4 squad spaces to make sure we have cover in every key position. Sorry if I haven't explained this too well, just pick your 10 backs and we'll see what happens from there! Multiple choice voting is obviously allowed.

9 Danny Care (Last I saw appears to be in better form than Youngs)
10 Toby Flood
11 Chris Ashton
12 Riki Flutey (Hoping he has regained his form from a few years ago)
13 Mike Tindall (Very little option)
14 Matt Banahan (I want to see him start more)
15 Ben Foden
Bench Delon Armitage
Bench Jonny Wilkinson
Bench Ben Youngs
I found this one difficult and frustrating I’ve tried to make the best of the options available.
