MJ has taken Joe Simpson to the RWC for a reason, and not just as injury cover. Before injury he was ahead of Ben Youngs in the race to be first capped for England. Now, whilst the RWC so far has shown that the so-called "Minnows" are capable of being banana skins, England will surely rest some of their 1st team starters for this match. I see this as the ideal time to blood Simpson and give some of the other "3rd choices" such as Mears and Hape some much needed game time.

Simpson is a talent, and it'd be nice to have another "seasoned" scrum half in the same mould as Youngs. Wigglesworth has been chosen because he's an "organiser". I saw no drunkards at the brewery today... Whistle

No.

Youngs will start.

I expect the lineup to look something like:

Corbisiero
Hartley
Stevens
Palmer
Shaw
Wood
Moody
Haskell
Youngs
Flood
Cueto
Hape
Tindall/Manu
Banahan
Armitage

Bench:
Wilson
Mears
Lawes
Croft
Simpson
Wilkinson
Ashton

I agree and would like to see Simpson start. His performance could not possibly be slower than Wigglesworth. His name is also faster to type. I have not seen Simpson play much. But if he is with the squad, let's see what he has got.
