Well I was just about to write about Farrell being at 10, but Sky Sports has just told me Catt has been named at 10. My guess is that Catt and Farrell will interchange consistently, possible with an emphasis on Farrell play the short channel in defence.
But to go back to the point I was going to make, Ashton simply must have considered this scenario a possibility. With Wilko as fragile as a china vase, and the heavy hitting size of Samoa, Tonga and South Africa there was always a chance Barkley would get injured as well. So logic dictates he must, in leaving out Flood (or Hodgson) from the squad, have considered who his No. 3 fly-half was. So was the suggestion that Farrell was at 10 a bit of gamesmanship or had Ashton simply not got a clue who was his back up back up 10?

Question is, is this a cunning ploy like the inter-changing of Lewsey and Robinson during the last world cup, or is it just confused thinking. The latter I reckon unfortunately.
