[QUOTE="spartan32, post: 928670, member: 72322"] So lots of chat about Dovoto. Can’t see why. Has never performed for England and with so many possible starting centres, manu, teo, JJ, faz, I don’t see how a second string guy gets a look in. Also not sure why the hate for teo. He may not be the most dynamic but the guys pretty solid in D and makes hard yards. Ireland are going to be a really physical side and arguably have the best D in world rugby. Exceptionally hard to break them down. We will need to be very clinical, make hard yards, get field position and kick points. I’d imagine if we do win it will be down to the boot of Faz. So for that we need hard tackling, line breaking lumps, and some decent action at the breakdown to ensure the lads in green don’t get their mits on the ball, or hold us up. For me Faz has to play 10. Ford can’t play behind a pack under pressure and that’s what we will have all game long. Manu has to start, he’s just so dangerous. So that leaves the 12 spot open, and I wonder if Teo may well fill that spot to ensure that the Irish have to narrow their defence to handle the two big lads in the middle, hopefully creating some space on the wing for May. Or just to punch it up, draw the pen, kick the points, and keep the score board ticking over. [/QUOTE]
