Are you ready for Freddie?

Cometh the hour, cometh the man, Freddie Burns has been called up to the England squad as Toby Flood is out and hopefully should earn his first cap on Saturday. I'm guessing it will be off the bench, but with his energy and quickball, as oppossed to Farrell's better defensive skills, there must be an outside chance of a start.

Great to hear, just a shame it took so long for him to get it!

I guess its might be a little too soon for Ford yet, each one of them probably has some sort of role to paly, Farrell if your looking to be more defensive, Burns or Ford if you're looking to be more expansive and Flood (weird how many FH's surnames begin with F) being the older, more experienced head

we need to be creative in the midfield area, tuilagi fantastic player that he is, is not a creative centre, he should be on the wing, finishing off moves with his pace and power, cant believe jonny may hasnt played in an england shirt yet,id have him or JJ at 13 and manu at 11

I also rate Ford very highly but would prefer Burns to play instead of Farrell. Making a debut vrs NZ is a big ask though. I think Tuilagi needs a creative player inside him, but we shouldn't play him out on the wing. It is the missing piece in my eyes from our backline. I thought Flood was poor by his standards last week but he did get a nasty elbow to the face early on.
