Daca ai fi antrenorul Angliei, cu ce echipa ai intra pe teren sambata asta?

Iata echipele virtuale pe care le-ar propune comentatorii specializati in rugby union ai cotidianului The Telegraph pentru meciul de sambata impotriva Africii de Sud:

# Mick Cleary – M Brown; S Rokoduguni, B Barritt, K Eastmond, J May; O Farrell, D Care: J Marler, D Hartley, D Wilson, D Attwood, C Lawes, T Wood, C Robshaw (capt.), B Morgan;

# Daniel Schofield – M Brown; S Rokoduguni, H Slade, K Eastmond, J May; G Ford, D Care; J Marler, D Hartley, D Wilson, D Attwood, C Lawes, J Haskell, C Robshaw (capt.), B Vunipola.

Articolul se incheie cu vot popular intre cititori. Pentru fiecare post sunt propuse doua sau trei variante. M-am prins in joc si am votat si eu (ca cetatean european), propunand un XV capabil sa faca fata tavalugului sud-african, Asa arata echipa pe care as introduce-o pe teren sambata :  M.Brown, A. Watson, Brad Barritt, B.Twelvetrees, J. May; Ben Youngs, G.Ford; Ben Morgan, C,Robshaw,  J. Haskell; D. Atwood, C. Lawes; D. Wilson, Dylan Hartley, Joe Marler.

Voi pentru cine ati opta?
