The England squad is pretty interesting:The good news is some of the youngsters in there; Hill, Earls, Dingwall, Furbank, Umaga and Thorley along with Mitchell and Hodge as apprentices is a fantastic sign that they're trying to plug the gaps that were in the World cup squad by getting some more experience into the younger players.However the prop options, particularly at 3, look a bit ropey and the lack of a genuine 8 (when Simmonds is playing so well) is a worry. I have a feeling that we're going a bit famine to feast and the plan is to play Curry, Underhill and Ludlam as 3 7s.
