I know I'm not anything like Martin Johnson. I'm a girl, I'm 5'4" and I've never played rugby. But if I could be in his (rather large) shoes for a day, who would I pick as my England squad to go to the World Cup?
You would think that today's match against Wales would have made things easier after the dire result, but for 30 minutes in the first half, England dominated. Unfortunately domination without scoring is meaningless, but I'm concentrating on the fact that this was a "friendly", if such a word can be applied to any match involving England and Wales.
It was a test. Johnno needed to try different combinations of players from last week's England victory, hence 13 changes. He is due to announce his selection a week on Monday so these matches are the only way he can get a good look at his options.
So who would I choose? Tonight I'm looking at the backs.
15. Ben Foden. Give him the ball and he's a nippy little fellow. He can score tries.
14. Chris Ashton. With or without the Swan Dive though hopefully with plenty of them during the World Cup.
13. Manu Tuilagi. Immense young player and he's already scored his first England try. It takes a few players to stop him once he gets going.
12. Matt Banahan. Two massive lumps of rugby players in the centre, Banahan and Tuilagi, would be powerful.
11. Undecided as at time of writing. I would have picked Ugo Monye, to be honest. But he's staying home. More thought required.
10. Alternate Jonny Wilkinson and Toby Flood. Jonny is the master, Flood is solid with a good boot.
9. Ben Youngs, who (fingers crossed) should have recovered from knee surgery in time to get a match in against Ireland.
