Some of my selections might be duds, especially some of the French players I selected like Gael Fickou, Brice Dulin and Yannick Nyanga, who don't seem to be first XV players after all. And Thomas Domingo, who I thought was one of the best props in the world, is not even in the squad! And Danny Care, who looks a pretty good live-wire halfback (whenever I've seen him play), can't seem to get a look in and is not even in the squad to face Italy. Sean Lamont may have been scraping the barrel a bit too. (Shows how much I know about NH rugby.) Although it looks like Jonny Sexton and Jamie Heaslip may both be back to face France this weekend...so that should help.
The French squad was always going to be hard to predict tbf. As for Care - well he had a horrible autumn so was ikely to lose his place to Youngs. A little surprised he's not making the bench but there you go
See I didn't think he played too badly against the ABs in autumn. Apart from too many box kicks he looked pretty good I thought. (Didn't watch any of the other England games on that tour however)
Danny Care's kicking was one of the biggest contributors to that performance against the ABs. He was dogshit
OK. I probably need to watch it again tbh. I thought he passed and ran well. I've seen him play really well in other games.
I thought Brumby swapped an injured player for Joseph? I'll swap the injured Campagnaro for him then please.
Will have to check later but I think I had 5 of the 8 tries scored by players selected this weekend. Not a bad effort.

If you ordered everyone by position, rather than by draft order you could produce the highest scoring team (which is what I assume you're doing right now) the quickest.
