[QUOTE="Crapspray, post: 568580, member: 58918"] I don't think there's the need for such an overhaul in the forwards. Bar the Wales game, they've done well under Lancaster. There's a need for improvement in the set-piece, but in the loose, over the last six months, they've been fairly good. A big ******* in the second row and a fetcher should solve the two biggest weaknesses. The major problem is the backs. The current set are incapable of attack. For me the most important aim of this tour is to get the backs attacking properly. Sort out the the horrendous back three (Wade alone has now scored more tries this season than all three combined) and bring in some creativity at 10 and 12. If England's game loosened-up it would suit the forwards they have- lightweight and athletic, with good motors. The supposed aim of top sides is to score three tries a game; England should aim to do that against Argentina. Until that becomes the norm, changing the forwards is shuffling deck chairs. [/QUOTE]
