Here are three world-class players that SHOULD be in Eddie Jones' England squad for the Rugby World Cup.
1. Don Armand
Unfortunately, it seems that Exeter star Armand will remain on two caps for now. He has continued to be one of the best back rows around, competing in the play-offs with Exeter Chiefs. Armand would have been useful the Six Nations and one cannot fault his form, it seems that some talent may have been overlooked to shoehorn in Brad Shields. We could have easily selected James Haskell here, but he's barely played.

2. Alex Goode
The 30-year-old has been crucial for Saracens in the Premiership form and was at his very best to help them claim a third European crown, playing every minute of the campaign. Another fullback who could count himself unlucky is possibly Gloucester's Jason Woodward or even Mike Brown. Basically someone who can catch.
3. Danny Cipriani
I would pick Cipriani in the squad because he offers something different. He has the ability to break defences and, with his running threat, he offers something that accelerates the way the team play. If you want to play a high tempo game or want someone to come off the bench to do that, then Cipriani is the man to do that.
He offers something different from that offered by George Ford and Owen Farrell, and against the variety of oppistion you face in the Six Nations, I think that is very important.
He is a quality, highly skilled player who can change a game for you.
