largely based on current international form, plus a few who might soon return to form
Decent team but would have O’Connell over Wyn Jones, Ferris or Robshaw over Lydiate, possibly Sexton over Priestland and Roberts rather than Davies
Yeah, i’ll give you O’Connoll, he’ll probably still be captain ;-)
