15 Iain Balshaw 14 Paul Sackey 13 Mike Tindall 12 Toby Flood 11 David Strettle 10 Jonny Wilkinson 9 Andy Gomarsall 1 Andrew Sheridan 2 Mark Regan 3 Phil Vickery 4 Simon Shaw 5 Steve Borthwick 6 James Haskell 7 Lewis Moody 8 Luke Narraway REPLACEMENTS 16 Lee Mears 17 Matt Stevens 18 Ben Kay 19 Tom Rees 20 Richard Wigglesworth 21 Daniel Cipriani 22 Lesley Vainikolo Balshaw and Borthwick have clearly got something they're blackmailing Ashton with. A shame Rees didn't make the starting XV but his recent form hasn't been that great, also a shame that Ward-Smith and Croft are injured, would've been good to see either of them involved. |

Balshaw!! I just simply can't believe it. 
Tait had one bad game against Leicester, and is replaced by a persistantly poor Balshaw...even some Gloucester fans can't believe he's in. Not sure about Narraway either, although I didn't realise Croft was injured. Chewy |

Shaw Broken? Just shows you how quickly an athlete can overcome an ankle injury, Yogi...  |

Narra's is class...played with him at Worcester (when we were younger) and he's a quality player and the kind of player England need at 8. Balsh still has the chance to prove people wrong, but he's got to use the attributes that he has. at the end of the day, he's still rapid, and I back him in space....Saying all that, I'd rather have Lewsey any day!! |

I see Warren Gatland even says Balshaw is rubbish. He's also right that we haven't got many accomplished kickers out of hand amongst the back three. |
