subject: England's 6 Nations squad to include surprise or two [print this page] Author: Ben Carso Author: Ben Carso
For rugby fans this is probably the most exciting time of the year bar the Autumn Internationals. The naming of the 6 Nations squad always brings much reaction to the selection, however good or bad it may be. As always the squad selection will contain numerous surprises although the question remains as to whether the surprises are good ones. Cipriani, the Wasps fly half has played down talks of him being called up to attend meaning there will be spots available for numerous fly halves around the country, some of which whose names may not be on the tip of our tongues. England will be looking to push on after an indifferent Autumn series against New Zealand, Australia and Argentina and will be looking to win the competition despite everything being against them, the press included. They do have the tools to compete at the highest level and the only real question remains as to whether they can put all those tools in the same box and play as a team looking to impress themselves more that the fans. Talk continues about expansive rugby but in all honesty, England are no good at it. England are best when they bully sides into submission, if overlaps appear then fine but there is no need to whip the ball down the line against organised defensive teams from set pieces. With the squad to be named on Wednesday and the 6 Nations just around the corner, England manager Martin Johnson will know it is time for his team and staff to start delivering some important wins, the best online bookmakers do not believe this will be the case and are offering 4/1 to win the Championship, 8-1 to win the Grandslam and have set France as 6/4 favourites for the tournament.About the Author:
