[QUOTE="MikeTheNative, post: 891907, member: 74084"] I'm not an international coach but surely anyone could see the Scottish backrow would have a field day against a back row of Lawes, Robshaw and Hughes? A backrow so unbalanced that if it was a boat than it would capsize going in a straight line. I see criticism of Hughes but to me he did is job well, yes he's not as good as Billy but he knocked over people and committed defenders. It was then Lawes and Robshaw and the rest of the forwards to were constantly getting caught short and not getting to the breakdown fast enough. I saw that England caught turned over the ball 13 times which is way too much, how many turnover penalties did England win? ( I think one) Russel seemed to remember that he is actually a very good player and linked up perfectly with Huw Jones who I predict will be the best outside centre in the world soon. The bench used to be one of England's strengths but now it seems that it's not as strong as was before. Jones was very reluctant to put some of the players on (not surprised with Wigglesworth) However Vuniploa played a good 70 mins and looked knackered for the final 20. [/QUOTE]
