Early in his career he was. He was in squads but wasn’t seen as a starter that’s my point like a tony Adam’s etc. As he was often overlooked for others to start.HE was in the England squad for 9 years, went to 3 major tournaments and got 57 caps, not sure he was overlooked that much.
Mings and Godfrey being in the squad reflects how poor the selection pool is in certain positions. Not even championship standard. Hopefully they will remain squad players and not in the '11' .
Possibly harsh. OK, not good quality Premiership players, which is where your selection pool should be based for representing you country.“not championship quality” is a bit harsh
we certainly are lacking depth in certain areas but I’d imagine other countries fans would say the same about areas of their squad, when it comes to depth and subs.
