I was sat in the 4th row at Twickenham on Saturday. A scrum was set fairly close to us and I remarked to my mate "jesus the kiwi props are bloody big units."
On other stuff really disappointing that Ted Hill has left the squad. Ewels has been in good form for Bath but his disciplinary record for England aside I'd put him firmly in the decent premiership standard at best category.
AOF is an interesting one. Genge and Stuart held up the scrum far better than I expected at the weekend. England aren't going to have a scrum that is going to be able to take a part the best in world for some time so in my eyes it's damage limitation and playing more attacking minded rugby. I can't quote the exact numbers but the number of passes and offloads made at the weekend was pathetic.
I put the loss on Saturday down to poor coaching both with tactics and selection. Watch a bit of the post match press conference and Borthwick managed to come across as arrogant and treating England fans as a bit stupid with his usual rhetoric.
