England's Six Nations XV
Brian Ashton has named his 32-man squad for the Six Nations as England look to continue their impressive form from the World Cup.
Phil Vickery will once again captain the side which has seen the likes of Olly Barkley, Josh Lewsey and Andy Farrell surprisingly axed.
With less than four weeks to go, we pick out our England XV to start the tournament which you can view here.
Do you disagree with our selection? We want to here you thoughts. Who would you pick if you were Brian Ashton? Let us know by adding you comments below.
I cannot see how players like Tindall(above all), Flood and Vickery should be on the park, and how Cueto for example should be even in the squad. It is time to change and there are too many past their sell by date performers there - even Wilkinson, Regan and Gomersall should not be immune. The backs are largely over-valued, and although England have a surfeit of world-class wingers, and a potent pack, they are seriously lacking in the centre. There is little cover for Tait, who is a rookie. they may well win a few, but the chance has been missed.
