[QUOTE="TheSaffycen, post: 706488, member: 71135"] positives from the game The starting pack was really good. Cole looked good and will only get better, Marler has really turned into a guy you can rely on now to do his job, Hartley wasn't great and his place is a little bit in question. Attwood was brilliant in defence and now his carrying is bringing us success. Kruis looks more comfortable every game, liked him for ages (made a big mistake I know) brings more grunt to us but Bury is still the guy for the shirt. Our flankers really balanced the load well Haskell and Vunipola were great at the choke tackle. Robshaw should have been MOTM with 26 tackles ! Youngs was very good and Wales couldn't keep up with the intensity which was suprising considering their fitness regime. Ford was decent to good. Open kicking was good (made to look great by Watson) tackling brought the guy down. That's all I really look for in my 10 though, I don't need him to be a 6 in contact. Joseph was impeccable and Burrell I thought wasn't that bad in defence, his awareness in attack cost us 2 tries IMO. Back three played well, May was a bit more quiet but still okay. The try was his fault but he isn't used to playing with Ford so that might be why. For Italy not a lot of change, let guys get used to each other. 1.Marler 2.Youngs 3.Cole 4.Attwood 5.Kruis 6.Haskell 7.Robshaw 8.Vunipola 9.Youngs 10.Ford 11.May 12.Twelvetrees 13.Joseph 14.Watson 15.Brown 16.Hartley 17.Corbisiero 18.Brookes 19.Parling 20.Croft 21.Wigglesworth/Care 22.Cipriani 23.Burrell/Nowell [/QUOTE]
