[QUOTE="Every Time Ref, post: 803175, member: 71826"] I'd definitely go for Ford-Farrell, possibly Te'o on the bench although I have never seen him play so I don't really know how to judge that. If he can play 12 and 13 that counts in his favour. He's got to be better than Burrell, and is presumably ahead of him in the pecking order now. I'd love to find a way to get some pace into the back row - mainly for defensive reasons, we were exposed a few times against Aus, and I think a fair amount of the issues out wide came from a) quick ruck ball and b) Backs vs Forwards mismatches - both of which are mitigated by quick back rows. However, Clifford is the obvious candidate and his defensive performance against Wales didn't exactly fill me with wonder. I'd have him on the brnch but on balance would stick with the slow back row from the first test. Would alsos bring Nowell in for Yarde, but I'd always have done that, and I can't see that EJ will. Yep. With Hask a good game always seems to be a one off, rather than leading to a run of good form. Noticed when doing defence analysis in the match thread that for the Kuridrani try (which came directly off a scrum) Ford was out on the wing. [/QUOTE]
