Must admit to not being quite keyed in with what's going on, but if Jones doesn't see May in his plans then, to borrow from Dr House, he's an idiot.
England played the wrong type of game for Ashton, but yes he's scored a lot of tries and got a lot better under the high ball. I think with Ford he'd be excellent.

In attack he's always been good enough.
It's 12 weeks minimum isn't it? it's annoying really, as I'd like to see him given the chance.
Hartley is probably the right call. I could only think of two players I'd absolutely certainly start and they're Hartley and Launchbury. Brown would come close to that, but I think on balance Hartley is probably the right choice.
