There's other people like Langley and Ben Harrison that'll be pushin as well. Serious options in the 2nd row at the minute. Kev Sinfield shouldn't be near the team though, he's a quality player but everyone mentioned so far is better.

I have allways said Sinfield is a first class club player but he isnt up to standard for England and we have far better players anyway who should be selected before him. Hopefully the new England Coach will bring in the best peforming players to every Tri-Nations and World Cups. I every much doubt this will happen thou and they will go back to the players we have used in the previous few years and end up getting knocked out early in the piece as usual.

I understand where you are coming from, but Hock in any team will improve it imo.

Then again his return, or state of mind is not certain atm.

If we keep getting injuries halfway through matches, I wouldn't be suprised to see him at centre for England, particually with our lack of quality there atm. Would be a waste though, but we are starting to get far too many back-rowers and not enough of anything else.

Joel Tomkins is a freak in the better sense of the word. A huge guy with the agility of a back, I know he has been brilliant in the 2nd/back row, but id love to see how he goes at centre. Particularly when we have Hock back and possibly Farrell.

The only players i can think of in the game at present with a similar mix of size and athletisism are Inglis and Folau. If they had come through the ranks in the UK im sure they would have been molded into forwards due to their size.

And with regards to Hock in my opinion he should be re-introduced as a Prop.
