[QUOTE="Crapspray, post: 611258, member: 58918"] I'd disagree there. The pack played very well, but haven't peaked. Given our oldest loosehead is 25 they've not reached maturity as props. Dan Cole is only 26. Launchbury and Lawes are 22 and 24 respectively. Billy Vunipola (21) had only two caps at the start of the series. England also didn't have a backline to all intents and purposes. So there's far more potential there. Relating back to the Six Nations, the number of backs injuries (barring Wade and Yarde) opens the door for a lot of creative players. Now we just have to wait and see if Lancaster will pick them. If he does, then England will have a very good, young pack and some backs who might do something with the ball they're provided with. There's plenty of room to improve. [/QUOTE]
