All teams have that avenue open to them, but as The Sun God pointed out - when the margin is 27 points then the done thing is not to do so.Are you suggesting that the England team management have no right to question interpretations to ensure they get things sorted next time?

Ashton actually really wasn't that bad yesterday and he was sent to run off poor ball. We're making a scapegoat out of him for the sake of it. Moving forward we do need to address the back 3 though, I'd rather Brown although he's the best of the back 3, played full back, with Goode off the bench to...

Worried about what happens if one of the back three gets injured on the weekend. We lack cover. Tuilagi on the wing. A position he hasn't played in years? Against the Irish in Dublin? When he played on the wing I think he just ran over people. Not so easy in the seniors http://i240.photobucket.com/...

While not as exciting a prospect as Billy V, I wouldn't call it depressing. Waldrom is a good grafter and great with ball in hand.
Factoid: Waldrom is yet to miss a tackle at international level.
