Smith should be FB.

but from 2 metres out, with no one infront of him? he's lethal!

thats harsh.....make 3 meters

Gardner was dreadful for England. A true case of Sean Day syndrome for those old enough to remember.

As for Hall, I like him - reasonably big and quick and can jump very well for the high ball on attack. His size alone would make him a better bet than many to face Aus/NZ. I do love watching wingers like Ainscough, although problems under the high ball could be his downfall. Having said that, Jason Robinson's stature wasn't exploited that often by aerial bombardment IIRC.

After last year, I'd hope Smith gives the likes of Hall, Ainscough and Smith at full back a go. The thought of seeing Gardner and Wellens in international colours again is just too depressing.

Thats what I said to the bloke I sit next to.Looks to have put on a yard at least.
