[QUOTE="Captain Robshaw, post: 708443, member: 71372"] Thought Marler was probably our best player while on. Excellent set piece some big hits - definitely up there with the best in the world now. Hartley seems to either be obnoxious and risk getting sent off or painfully mute throughout. I'd keep him though for his set piece which is miles ahead of Youngs'. Haskell disappointed for me after last week but Billy V again showed increased maturity and fitness, seemingly becoming more of an all-round defensive player than a crash-ball merchant. Still pretty poor at the base of the scrum. Youngs unfortunately was dreadful I thought, his passing was woeful but I suppose for Ireland it will make sense to have his sniping and confrontational style. For me 36 should come in for Luther, he just offers so much more, I didn't think it was a coincidence that we improved literally the minute he came on. I'd also like to see Nowell come in for May, better all round player, less flashy but can do it all really, the sort of guy I'd like to take to Dublin. Here's hoping MB is fit but Watson is fine at full back. Offers less defensively than Brown but will add a lot more in attack. [/QUOTE]
