Could be right about Danny as he does seem to have fallen out of
favour but I just can’t see Robshaw not going. He’s missed this
year with injury but the second he was fit EJ got him straight
back into his training squad. If Shields goes above Robbo it’ll
be absolute madness.

The print copy of the Boris Johnson fansheet Telegraph reckons
that all three of our players who played in the England XV vs
the BaaBaas are in the mix as bolters for the RWC squad, Smith
and Marchant particularly.

without my quartered tinted sunglasses on...
Isn't Danny one of the form (not just english) scrum halfs in
the league based on this season?
I can't see how he doesnt get into the training squad...

Kicking the ball out at half time vs Japan has ended his England
playing days...

Bizarre. Well, we've done badly at the last 2 word cups wih
Youngs plodding about at 9, so third time lucky

I don't think Care has ever shown he's better than Youngs as a
starting scrum half (I mean, consistently). It will be a bit of
a surprise if he's left out though, as he has certainly been a
very good impact player from the bench.

Are we actually surprised though? DC is one of Quins' absolute
key players these days - one of the first names on the team
sheet. But he's been sooo inconsistent in an England shirt.
Whenever he put it on it's like he thought he was playing for
France, you just never knew if he'd be totally inspired or put
on an utter shambles of a performance. Often, he was somewhere
in between, with the occasional serious brainfart cancelling out
any good work he did.
Now, I think Youngs has been INCREDIBLY lucky to get the number
of caps he has. He's slow off the mark, his passing is generally
loopy and he gets tired quickly. Nevertheless, he's focused on
his one or two strengths (box-kicking and... okay now I'm
struggling...) and that seems to have been enough. I personally
think Robson should have been given more of a shot, but that's
largely irrelevant now given his health/fitness issues. I'm just
not surprised to see Care left out - the writing has been on the
wall for quite a while really. Eddie doesn't trust him to go
steady rather than totally off script. I don't think we can
really blame him - in an England shirt Danny has mostly been
infuriating and as such never really locked down the starting
berth for any extended period of time when Youngs was also
available.
I'd be more surprised if Robshaw doesn't go. Brownie feels 50/50
but if I had to call it I'd say he's not going either.
Selfishly, potentially good news for the start of our GP
campaign.

Can't be bothered to deal with the Telegraph paywall. Does it
name a source?
Care isn't a starter,with the style Eddie wants to play, but
he's the best finishing scrum half England have. The number of
tries he's created in the last quarter have been very
instrumental in a lot of victories - remember his personal
demolition of Australia? - and I am willing to bet that he might
have made the difference against Wales in the 6N.
I just don't get why Eddie would refuse even to look at players
who've been part of his setup for three quarters of his tenure,
are the most experienced options in their positions, and haven't
noticeably dropped in form. I could understand them not making
the final 31, but I'd be perplexed if they weren't in the
initial training squad.
