Who should complete 606v2's England World Cup squad?
606v2 picks the England World Cup squad: One More Time!
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
Scrum halves: Danny Care, Ben Youngs, Joe Simpson
Fly halves: Toby Flood, Charlie Hodgson, Jonny Wilkinson
Centres: Shontayne Hape, Mike Tindall, Manu Tuilagi
Wings: Chris Ashton, Matt Banahan, Mark Cueto
Full backs: Ben Foden
Hodgson pips Flutey to the post for the third 10 spot, which leaves us needing just one more player to complete our 30 man squad. With just 7 players covering 6 match-day positions (11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 22) another outside back is surely needed. Vote for who you feel has missed out and should be added to the squad.
Selection criteria: Winner of the poll will be added to the squad. Multiple voting is not allowed.

Went for Armitage purely because he is such a versatile back. Probably the boring option.

I went for Sharples mainly as i thought it'd be fun. I don't even know if he can cover any other positions other then wing but i'd still pick him.
I really wish Lowe, Twelvetrees or Goode had been picked as i'd have one of them in there instead.
it's probably best i'm not the England coach.

I would have picked other if it was an option but went for Strettle - most clean breaks and most defenders beaten in the AP this season.

SINBAD deserves his chance even if he is a Glaws player

James Simpson-Daniel - can cover wings and 13, if we need another full back Cueto can cover, Fodens hard as nails anyway! He wont get injured *fingers crossed*

I only found the sub board as I was looking at the Irish Scrum Half poll on the main rugby discussion area and they mentioned it there. Wondered what had happened to the rest of the squad after I last voted on the extra forward option.

Forgot to mention I voted Simpson-Daniel as well, although I think MJ would pick Armitage, Strettle and Monye before him (unfortunately).
