5. David Strettle
People have defended Lancaster since his disastrous Rugby World Cup, but we’d like to politely remind everyone that he omitted one of the most exciting wingers on the planet in Christian Wade in favour of a washed up 31-year-old. Strettle, who hadn’t played for England since the second-string tour of Argentina in June 2013, never had a chance of making the final squad. Baffling.
