My England XV for the first test would be full of the youngsters who have been playing so well in the Premiership.

15 - Ben Foden
14 - James Simpson - Daniel
13 - Mike Tindall
12 - Olly Barkley
11 - Paul Sackey
10 - Danny Cipriani
9 - Pete Richards
8 - Nick Easter
7 - Tom Rees
6 - James Haskell
5 - Tom Croft
4 - Steve Borthwick
3 - Phil Vickery
2 - Lee Mears
1 - Andrew Sheridan

A team combining pace and power this should be the team that faces the All Blacks - move the old hangers on off the international stage!

Why even bother taking Borthwick - take Tom Palmer or better still Geoff Parling! Agree though - use the tour to get the youngsters some experience!

Half of my team have not even been selected for the squad! Surely Foden should be going on the tour.... Simpson Daniel, Vickery, Sackey are all injured and have not been picked or are of some doubt for the trip.

Its a shame for poor Danni Cipriani. I'm still not sure if replacing him with Haskell is the best approach though and having Charlie Hodgson as the only specialist Fly Half seems a bit strange. Shouldn't Lamb or Some other new fly half been given a chance Hodgsons already proved he is left wanting at the highest levels, especially with his Kicking under pressure. Flood is an option and i've seen him put some good pressure kicks away for the Falcons but he's not proven at international level yet. Would also be nice to see Tait get his self in to form for England and open his legs with a Back line fireing up.

Danny Cipriani will be really missed I think but I reckon they will now put Olly Barkley there and play Toby Flood at inside centre and Tindall at outside. I agree with the Hodgson thing, I don't think he is the man for the job to be honest but he may be better than Lamb. I am sure Taity will get a run - if he doesn't he might have a bit of a sulk!!
