What does Ben Youngs have to stoop to not get picked ?

Can't see the England wingers getting much ball with Teo & Manu as the centres, they are not really known for their slick handling and passing.

That is the million dollar question!

Don't get the Teo and Tuillagi in the centres but at least it does indicate that aren't planning to kick the ball away as much as against Wales?

So there is a plan B, against Wales they tried to pick the lock with kicks in behind. this time they are just going to smash the door down. Interesting statistic in the Mail today: The combined weight of our 2 centres and Cokanasiga is greater than the top 3 heavyweight boxers in the world!

Only because Deontay Wilder is a stick insect! Devastating puncher though

If I was an Italian in the game at Twickenham, I would be very worried about getting battered by these two beasts.

COYS! Ouch that hurt saying that

Interesting article from Sam Warburton. He says he could not understand why George Ford was not put on at 10 when things started to go south for England. He thought GF would have been a game changer? I guess England will attempt to go for an 80 minute battering ram attack? Any Italian turnovers will be quickly whipped to the outside and those fast Italian back can inflict some serious try scoring damage!!

Youngs showing his Tigers form,hes been awful!

For me Shields is at best third choice blindside flanker. Doesn’t do enough hard graft for me and wish Robshaw had played against Italy.

Be interesting whether we stick to the power game against Scotland. Daly played well as the second receiver, so negated the need for Slade somewhat. Or do Slade and Nowell come back into the backline.

Won’t happen but would love to see Ford start at 10 against Scotland. Has been in good form and deserves a start.

Where's the praise for Manu? Why is there only a negative comment about Youngs?

[Scott1]

Manu was superb today ,I was proper reminiscent,Ben was ? lol

[Scott1]

He played like he was in a Tigers shirt today for sure

Youngs did what he was told to do he was fine.

So when the Italian did get the ball wide not only did they score but put a slow narrow England backline under pressure. Why is Farrell at 10? Joke!! He has no dynamic to get the ball moving. Teo for me is no 12 at this level way too static even Brad Barritt has more pace. Sam W is spot on after todays game, use GF and OF at 10/12 and there is space because the way GF plays makes the defence line rush slow or even stopped. Good victory England but it won't win the WRC? Also, Shields is not a Robshaw. Ellis Genge is sooooooooo good at this level - stonkin'!!!
