Not even expecting to see Twelvetrees in an England shirt. There's no room for him on the bench because Tuilagi/Farrell will be seen as the replacement 12 and Barritt is obviously going to start. Sad thing is, if we had been thrashed by New Zealand, then the Autumn would have been remembered as a poor series and Lancaster would have to make some positive changes. Anytime the Barritt-Tuilagi partnership comes under flak, "that New Zealand game" will come up now. It might be that Barritt is the best guy for the job, I just dislike the fact that opportunities aren't opened to other players, that places in the squad are there to be lost, not gained.
