[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1102530, member: 58362"] That's an interesting point. I'd say that any coach would pick England's lot rather than having the big games spread out across the pool / back stacked. It's a no-brainer to rest as many of the starting 23 as possible against Chilli, against Samoa, my gut reaction was to rest key players to avoid the risk of injury, but I could also see merit in starting with a strong side and taking them off when the game is put to bed, or even stacking the bench with key players as an insurance policy.
