I know it's not a 15 man game any more, and i know that rotation is required etc etc etc.
However, we can't qualify for Europe, so with no premiership games around, i'm bored.
We're about half way through the season, so on current form, if we were in the premiership final this weekend who would you pick as your starting 15?
Feel free to add a bench if you want
I would say that it's ok to pick players who are short term injured, but not those that have been injured long term.
i.e. Yes to Ben Harris, No to James Gaskell.
Just a bit of fun, so feel free to bend the rule if it helps
Here's mine
1. Zurabi Zhvania (honorable mentions to Tom West and Ben Harris)
2. Tommy Taylor
3. Kieran Brookes
4. Joe Launchbury
5. Thibaud Flament
6. Jack Willis
7. Thomas Young
8. Nizaam Carr
9. Dan Robson (I'm excited by Wusty though)
10. Jacob Umaga
11. Josh Basssett
12. Jimmy Gopperth
13. Malakai Fekitoa
14. Marcus Watson
15. Matteo Minozzi
The wings were the toughest decision here, and unfortunately it wasn't for the right reasons
Bench would be something like
Tom Cruse
Simon McIntyre (would be starting if he had any form to speak of)
Toomaga-Allen (his last couple of games have been better and i'm not convinced yet by Owlett)
Charlie Matthews
Brad Shields
Sam Wolstenholme
Lima Sopoaga
Michael le Bourgeois (although i nearly picked Rob Miller)
