[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 548898, member: 55446"] Marler, Youngs, Cole, Launchbury, Parling, Haskell, Robshaw, Wood - No changes really needed in the pack other than Haskell-for-Morgan given injury. - Marler gets another go to try and bring domestic form to the international scene, but I wish Corbisiero was available really. - Youngs/Hartley is a difficult one, but the balance between the two is good - both very different hookers. - In the front row, I like the idea of playing Marler, Youngs and Cole as one unit (good in the loose for the first 60 min) and Vunipola(/Wood), Hartley and Wilson as a scrummaging unit to come on later in the game. Youngs, Farrell, Strettle, Twelvetrees, Tuilagi, Ashton, Brown - Brown is not a winger. Positioning on and understanding of the wing is poor and was directly responsible for the Maitland try. I do think he's a good player, and everything he's done good so far, he could have done from fullback. - Would prefer Monye to Strettle, but Strettle is the only winger left. - Tuilagi cannot be left out, eager to see a partnership with Twelvetrees, who has to stay on-field given last week. - No other changes needed. The only marginal one is Youngs/Care, but Youngs did well last week and I'm hoping he's coming into a good vein of form. Bench: Hartley, Vunipola, Wilson, Lawes, Waldrom, Care, Flood, Goode - I've gone for Waldrom because he's the closest to Morgan we have. Against Ireland, I would like a specialist 8 involved in case we struggle to get over the gain line. That said, I wouldn't be opposed to Vunipola, Kvesic or Fraser really. - Most are obvious and only went for Goode because fullback needs cover. - I can see a case for dropping Flood for Barritt and banking on Farrell lasting the 80, with Twelvetrees as "emergency cover".
