I think Croft will start, for the line out option he gives, and I agree O,Connell plays cos he is skipper, but on current form he probs wouldn"t have made the starting 15.

second that...O"Driscoll should have been made captain

Hmm The team has been picked for today"s match and traditionally the match before the test is the "B" team which should give us some indication of the final team. That knocks three of my picks on the head. Must give the management a ring ;D n.b. Williams is suffering from a tummy bug tho and might not feature
K Earls (Munster & Ireland);
S Williams (Ospreys & Wales),
R Flutey (Wasps & England),
G D"Arcy (Leinster & Ireland),
L Fitzgerald (Leinster & Ireland),
J Hook (Ospreys & Wales),
M Blair (Edinburgh & Scotland);
A Sheridan (Sale Sharks & England),
R Ford (Edinburgh & Scotland),
E Murray (Northampton & Scotland),
S Shaw (Wasps & England),
D O"Callaghan (Munster & Ireland) (capt),
N Hines (Perpignan & Scotland),
J Worsley (Wasps & England),
A Powell (Cardiff Blues & Wales).

Wow those boys know they,ve been in a game. A real warning about the physicality that awaits on Saturday. Simon Shaw had a good game as did Worsley and Powell, Blair did well without protection, and I still like Fitzgerald for a spot on the bench. O"Gara kicked well off the floor, but was iffy out of hand, and doesn"t get the back line moving the same as Jones.
So still happy with my 15. ;)

Sometimes I dispair.
Quote from Ronan O"Gara after yesterdays match "They were more interested in kicking lumps out of us than scoring or keeping the score down," he told BBC Sport.
It"s the nature of the game - deal with it, stop moaning, it"s the way the Southern Hemisphere is, get your retaliation in first FFS.
Logie66:
No more debate about Hook, injured and not available for the 1st Test. I reckon Jones will get the nod with O"Gara on the bench.
