[QUOTE="RugbyMarvel, post: 892631, member: 75369"] Nope all of that 23 barring Billy V (injury) and Tom Wood are still involved. Only differences between that XV and the one that XV and the one that faced Scotland are: Daly started over May Billy V was at 8 Haskell at 7 (Robshaw out injured) Marler started over Mako Itoje was 6, Lawes was 5. I do think though that the loss to Scotland has highlighted a total inability to dominate, or even protect the breakdown, and that as soon as we lose that battle our narrow defence is hugely vulnerable. I also think that we couldn’t impose ourselves to the same extent we wanted to due the obvious lack of ball carriers. In terms of systems, I anticipate no changes. We must need to alter personnel so we can effectively work within the systems. Hopefully the forwards also work together a bit tighter and employ the pod system to some extent, to try and avoid isolation. If Curry and Underhill were in the side, they’d be able to slow opposition ball which would be a great start for me. [/QUOTE]
