Andy Powell has been playing well but he makes poor decisions and is one dimensional (Still not convinced by Wales backrow). I think playing Hook at 15 is completely wasting his talents. The props still look quite good but England should have the upper hand. Wales' backs are all great individual players but the only proper creative one is playing at 15 and I think that could also hinder Roberts who could have been a major weapon to Wales.


England's backrow is very strange and Haskell is not a 7. I think Deacon is playing well and that will help Hartley's poor throw but the Second rows are not brilliant ball carriers. I think Youngs is brilliant and he will show Phillips what a popper scrum half does. Centre is a weakness for England and even their positioning can be very narrow. I don't rate Hape and Tindall still struggles to pass. The backline is very good though and I think their links are impressive.
