World Cup squads.. Genius or Madman?

Andrew Sherridan

As an English fan, I am saddened by the injury to Prop Andrew Sherridan. Not only has he been one of the best props in the English squad within the past years, possibly in the history of English rugby been forced out, England now have only 2 'specialist' first choice positions which raises the question, Is there an Art to calling world cup squads?

With the ommison also of Matthew Giteau from the Aussie camp (arguably one of the best fly halfs in the planet) is there more praise for management teams that choose thier world cup sqauds on names, form or simply bravery/stupidity.

I believe there is a method in which a sqaud should be called upon. And we might just see a shock this world cup...

What do you guys believe?
