[QUOTE="Duct Tape, post: 1156305, member: 87383"] Shame it’s not real. That would be an excellent lineup against Fiji and if they are so lucky as to make it through, to their SF opponent. Watching all of the WC matches again on Peacock streaming, it seems England need centers to be real breakthrough threats to generate some offense and give the wingers more room when (if) the ball ever makes it out wide (notwithstanding the Chile game and Arundell’s walk in tries). Ford looks to be a better 10 and probably more consistent kicker right now. Then there’s defense where some, including Farrell, have not been good on the tackle. Re: Smith, they clearly need a spark, and IMO catching the kicked ball is not really that hard (unless height is an issue on contested catches) but I’m worried about his open field tackling on big Fiji backs and loose forwards.
