Tom Youngs impressed me. As I'd guessed, his lineout throwing was much improved. Perhaps a factor was that Fiji didn't really contest many lineouts, but he still made no mistake in it. Perhaps the lineout will have to be more inventive against SANZAR though, and perhaps he'll still struggle. But it's a step in the right direction, and he's a decent carrier.
Cole is clearly the first name on the team sheet.
Waldrom was the worst England player on the field, and I'm normally a fan of him. There are some finer edges to Morgan's game that he needs to work out, but he still deserves a start. He hasn't done anything wrong to lose his place (admittedly, not much particularly flash either), but his ball carrying is more destructive.
Care had a lot of ups and downs but still deserves another run out. Flood did nothing special, still think Burns should be starting.
Sharples and Ashton(/JSD) are the perfect wing combination. Sharples is the kind of player who thrives on hogging a wing, so let him keep the 14 shirt. Ashton, on the other hand, is at his best coming in off the wing, running decent lines and supporting loose play, so his gamestyle shouldn't suffer too much from a switch to 11. Goode to continue at fullback, he was impressive today.
Not sure what to make of Tuilagi. He's one of the most destructive runners in the game and gives England some good meters. He also showed off a few nice offloads today. But he's the kind of player that butchers overlaps because he's too prone to running instead of passing. If he doesn't improve much at this, I'd like Lancaster to consider giving Jonathan Joseph some starts.
