It instinctively looks better this way around - just need to see how it works on the pitch.Just noticed it's 12. Slade 13. Lawrence, as well - wasn't that way round last week was it?
Noticed Slade was at 12 and assumed Lawrence had been brought in, can't remember much from him on Saturday. I can't get my head around that. Makes sense to want Lawrence at 13 but surely there won't be a positional change?!Just noticed it's 12. Slade 13. Lawrence, as well - wasn't that way round last week was it?
Borthwick is already under a lot of pressure after New Zealand. If Australia win on Saturday that pressure will be dialled up a lot more.With only 2 changes, one of which is enforced, England must win. I'd have dropped Dombrandt personally. Borthwick is really trusting his players here.
Think Lawrence spent most of the NZ game at the bottom of a ruck, remember looking at the stats and he'd made about 10 more tackles than anyone else in the gamecan't remember much from him on Saturday.
Ah might make sense then and see a switch. Don't want your explosive midfield runner playing as an extra backrow all game.Think Lawrence spent most of the NZ game at the bottom of a ruck, remember looking at the stats and he'd made about 10 more tackles than anyone else in the game
I wouldn't want Henry Slade playing as a backrow either!Ah might make sense then and see a switch. Don't want your explosive midfield runner playing as an extra backrow all game.
You've jinxed it now!Didn't realise just how good our record against Australia had been recently. 1 loss in the last 11 games.
