I didn't think Jeremy Guscott was old enough to be losing his memory that much, but he seems to have forgotten Ryan Lamb, Shane Geraghty, Dominic Waldeouck, Anthony Allen, Jordan Turner-Hall, Nils Mordt, Ugo Monye, Nick Abendanon, Ollie Morgan, JSD (remember him?), Lesley Vainikolo, Harry Ellis, Richard Wigglesworth and Danny Care in the backs; Tom Rees, Tom Croft, Jordan Crane, Will Skinner, Dave Seymour and Magnus Lund in the back row, Richard Blaze, Nick Kennedy, Jim Evans and Alex Brown in the second row; Tom French, Jack Forster, Chris Brooker, Dylan Hartley, Tom Mercey, Matt Thompson and David Paice in the front row. This on top of those of the current incumbents who have a few years left in them. Whilst much of this is potential untried at full international level, a number have played for the Saxons who, if anything, looked more like a full England team for most of last year. A year or two more of premiership and Heineken cup experience and there could be some interesting com

Jim Dandring, Droitwich,

You may want to consider Davey Wilson as a future tighthead at only 21he has been understudying to Micky Ward for a while now and with Carl Hayman arriving on Tyneside, the experience he will gain will be invaluble. All be it he has had his fair share of problems with injury, but certainly one to be considered if given the chance. And in terms of age he is vety young for a prop.

Will Oami, Belfast, n Ireland

Sheridan is clearly the choice player for loose-head at present but, in order to build strength in depth and consider other playing options, would we not be wise in blooding young Nick Wood from Gloucester in this season's Six Nations? The guy seems the real deal - a prop's prop

JimmyNoPunch, London,

Wood of Gloucester is potentially very good however to think that he will get in the team in front of Sheridan is bonkers after his perfomances at the WC. Allen's a good shout soon enough however Lamb has 1 major flaw to his game, he just can not or will not tackle, this deficiency will be ruthlessly exposed at International level.

Andy, Cheltenham,

mark....

Tait over Pietersen - simple choice!

Cipriani DEFINATELY in the squad - with James only sneaking the 10 shirt due to his experience over Cipriaini

James Haskell also DEFINATELY in the squad - again Juan Smith sneaking the shirt due to his experience

With regard to these 3 they would definately play their part in the springboks SQUAD. Allow time to progress and you will see England's youth revolutionize the England side

Liam, Northampton,

Jeremy, you were a class player but as a pundit, you have an overwhelming lack perspective. I do not doubt that Stevens, Tait, Cipriani, Haskell et al will be class acts, indeed some of them already are. But if you are going to cast comment please make it either broad ie inclusive of all the talent or narrow and base it on a position or group of positions etc and give yourself a bit more credibility. Don't you question why Newcastle who are currently 9th (with Wilko, Flood, Noon and Tait) are 16 points adrift from a team with an all England back line. I presume you will have it down to a long world cup hangover? I have it down to a lack of respect for players from other clubs who clealry deserve more consideration. Whilst you are clearly writing your opinion (this is an opinion piece after all) and everyone is entitled to have one, perhaps you should tbe a bit more 'inclusive' an endear yourself to a wider audience.

Bruce, Hailsham,

What a load of absolute tosh from a man who should know better. Does Guscott ever watch - or even know about - Guinness Premiership and Heinekin Cup games? Does he know which team is currently top of the Premiership and has the best record so far of ALL clubs in the Heinekin Cup? And why they are best at the moment? Ryan Lamb, Anthony Allen, Nick Wood, Iain Balshaw and Mike Tindall, to give but 5 reasons - yet only one gets a cursiory mention in his biased article. Yesterday Lamb made Wilkinson look like the overplayed, overinjured pedestrian has been that unfortunately he now is. Noon is a poor man's Tindall. Flood was eclipsed by Allen. Only Tait of the Newcastle backs by looked anything like ready for an England call. And Nick Wood dominated the "world's best tight head" (according to the New Zealanders, of course). Why doesn't Mr Guscott put his bias aside for a moment, and take a trip to Kingsholm to actually watch Gloucester play? He might be surprised!

Westy, Gloucester, UK

Haskell stays at 6 so Tom Rees can develop at 7. Both of them are too good to pass up. Guscotts right about Cipriani, he shouldn't be thrown into the fire right away. All this talk about Enlgands' future and no mention of Olly Barkley???? He kicked 2 penalties and 5 conversions right in front of Ashton and also played well during the world cup. If not fly half then at least the inside center of England's future.

James Weaver, Lancastert, USA

Mark what are you talking about ? The blacks finished 7th and could not make a tactical decision to win the game. Who cares about the All Blacks they simply peaked between world cups once again.

BOB, Denver, colorado

typical guscott, no mention of any young guns from Glos..lamb, allen, wood,narraway,...the form team in england and europe but it's Glos so they are not worth mentioning, Instead he bangs on about Flood who made absolutely no impact at the weekend...
