Wilkinson out, Dallaglio in

Wilkinson is out after turning his ankle in training and Dallaglio starts in England's first match v the USA. You can read the full details of the Wilkinson injury and the team selected here.

I think this team has the making of a good one.

Important areas have been addressed with Dallaglio starting (as he should be) and Catt given the important 12 shirt. However, if this is likely to be the starting XV for South Africa (with Wilkinson back at 10 being the only change), then I think Brian Ashton has made a mistake with his substitutions.

As for Wasps, I would have thought Haskell would have done well as a impact sub for Dallaglio. But he's not in the squad.

The same goes in the backs, whilst Tait is a good player, I would have liked to have seen Sackey on the bench at least with his pace to burn.
