Looks like you got it right Matt - Aston's the man, looks like he's a lucky boy with his timing as well:

Vickery back (cpt)
Robinson re-called and playing well
Hill back and in the Saxons squad
Sick note Farrell called up
Wilkinson fit (touch wood) and could be ready for world cup

Maybe we've got a chance of beating someone other than Italy at the 6 nations after all. I won't hold my breath!

I like the look of the squad though, what does anyone think? Could England be looking at a timely return to form for the world cup defense. I think it's a little early to tell but there could just be something in Mr Ashton's stars.

What about Davies' comments re: The Hook/Henson rotation? I agree with Jonathon Davies; Hook's got to be given a chance to take on Jone's for the 10 spot, a spot that Henson has failed to deliver in, and the only way he can take on Jones is to get games under his belt at the top level.

Not sure I agree with a rotation system particularly for 1/2 backs, it's just to hard to pick up and put down a 9 10 jersey, you need time to tune in and settle.
