[QUOTE="Peat, post: 660583, member: 42330"] A distributing 12 is quite clearly a major part of Lancaster's plans at the moment. England may not play champagne rugby all day every day (although there's been some very slick pieces of work that have gone relatively unappreciated and unnoticed) but there is a clear and obvious plan to use the width of the pitch when attacking and that requires a passing centre, and that's not going to be 13 with Tuilagi around. Farrell seems to work a lot better for a distributing 12 to help him as well. Twelvetrees and Eastmond have issues but so do most players. It's a big probability that one of them will be starting England's next match and that England will be better for it. [/QUOTE]
