That seems logical. The only thing I wonder is if you keep at least one of McIlorum or Tomkins because their familiarity with many of the French players should be an asset.

Tomkins maybe, but I think he may go for more of a mobile hooker this time, if only to test out his options and combinations. I doubt the bench will be 4 forwards either.

Three players (as a minimum) will have to be selected for all three group games. The other 21 members of the squad can be selected twice each if Wane takes rotation to the maximum level.
