England’s Rugby Squad Is Showing Unprepared
By Ally White
England’s head coach Brian Ashton has surprised some when he named three uncapped players such as Harlequins full-back Mike Brown, Gloucester prop Nick Wood and Sale Sharks lock Dean Schofield for the first Test against South Africa in Bloemfontein.
England has traveled to South Africa with an exhausted squad and their lack of experience is inescapably reflected in Ashton's line-up, which has a total of 172 caps. But 131 of those are shared by just three players - skipper Jason Robinson, fly-half Jonny Wilkinson and hooker Mark Regan.
Regan will group down in the front row with his fellow 35-year-old, Sale prop Stuart Turner, with Regan making his first Test appearance since the 51-15 loss against Australia in Brisbane almost three years ago.
There are just three survivors from England's last game, the RBS Six Nations Championship defeat against Wales in Cardiff:

For 24-year-old Wood, the Bloemfontein encounter provides a chance to lay down a World Cup marker in his first appearance since Gloucester saw their Premiership title hopes smashed by Leicester at Twickenham ten days ago.
