[QUOTE="Crapspray, post: 556147, member: 58918"] Except he butchered a try in open play by taking the ball into contact, something he did against France as well. He's great defensively, and I think it'll be best to start him against Wales, but he really isn't going to be an attacking threat. He boshes, but not as well as Tuilagi, and because he's selected Goode has to be as a second receiver. I'd far rather the inside centre did that job and we can move Brown/Foden (when he's back in form) to fullback and get a second wing who might actually get passed to. I believe England would gain a lot more in attack than they would lose in defence if Barrit was replaced by Twelvetrees. However, for this Six Nations the team is not going to really change. I can only hope Morgan comes backs at 8, Haskell on the bench, Marler starts again, and the half-backs are swapped back to Youngs and Farrell. The World Cup is in the autumn, surely? So that would mean two Six Nations, two summer tours (Argentina and New Zealand), a Lions tour, two Autumn International series, and world cup warm-ups. A good 20-30 games. [/QUOTE]
