Your Shout: Phil Vickery, Yesterday's Man?
As expected, Brian Ashton named a virtually unchanged team from last weekend's win over Samoa. Phil Vickery's two match ban for playing soccerball with an American has run out, but the big Cornishman is on the bench for the Tonga clash at the Parc des Princes with the rider than he's not fully match fit. Cynical it might be, but it could well be that Ashton and his coaching team have decided that squad captain Vickery has not offered enough to start at tighthead instead of the Little Baby Rhino, Matt Stevens. Can you imagine leaving Smit, McCaw or Mortlock on the bench for a crunch game?
England: Lewsey; Sackey, Tait, Barkley, Cueto; Wilkinson, Gomarsall; Sheridan, Chuter, Stevens, Borthwick, Kay; Corry (c), Moody, Easter
Bench: Mears, Vickery, Dallaglio, J Worsley, Richards, Farrell, Hipkiss
