Soldato
Andy Robinson has named his 27 man squad:
England 27-man squad:
Backs: J Lewsey (Wasps), M Cueto (Sale Sharks), B Cohen (Northampton), T Voyce (Wasps), J Simpson-Daniel (Gloucester), M Tindall (Gloucester), J Noon (Newcastle), C Hodgson (Sale Sharks), A Goode (Leicester), M Dawson (Wasps), H Ellis (Leicester), P Richards (Gloucester).
Forwards: A Sheridan (Sale Sharks), M Stevens (Bath), J White (Leicester), S Thompson (Northampton), L Mears (Bath), S Borthwick (Bath), A Brown (Gloucester), S Shaw (Wasps), D Grewcock (Bath), C Jones (Sale Sharks), J Worsley (Wasps), L Moody (Leicester), J Forrester (Gloucester), L Dallaglio (Wasps), M Corry (Leicester, capt).
I really can't believe he has dropped Abbott, Varndell and Lund to England A. Abbott is the inform IC and should be starting, so now we will probably have Tindall and Noon starting who created nothing during the Autumn Internationals. So much for the idea of creative, attacking rugby - we don't even have a true IC in the squad
