[QUOTE="MrTea_32, post: 716845, member: 72313"] Now that the 6 nations finished and burrell has had a good run out at 12 I think he's shown he definitely isn't England's answer for the 12 shirt and neither is Billy twelvetrees. I was just wondering what everyone else thinks to one of England's still unanswered questions. If it was me I would have Eastmond at 12, he can tackle despite what some people say I think he has a better tackle completion rate than twelvetrees and burrell this season. He's much more of a threat in attack probably the nearest we have got to Jason Robinson with his running style, he can distribute and also kick, the little rugby league style grubbers he puts in for bath create tries. He's a game changer and the trump card is he plays week in week out with ford and Joseph and Watson so they know how each other play which can only benefit. It's pretty disappointing Lancaster didn't try other players like slade because this 6 nations has proven that burrell is not an international centre. It would be interesting in the next few months if tuilagi gets back from fitness I'd try him at 12 like alot of people are saying because Joseph should be one of the first names on the team sheet and obviously let's just see how Sam burgess gets on hopefully he'll come good and be a squad player for the world cup. It's shown how conservative and boring Lancasters selection can be as it took lots of injurys for him to pick players like Joseph, a player who should have got his shot way before. After this world cup I'm not sure Lancaster is the man to take us to the world cup in Japan maybe a southern hemisphere coach would allow England to play more expensive rugby and make better selections without having his hand forced.
