[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1013676, member: 56232"] I think England are perfectly capable of doing well without Tuilagi, I think the main problem is we continue to try to play like he's there when he isn't. It took us ages to adapt after his first injury (the wingers never used to see the ball before, something we are getting back to for different reasons). It is a problem with how Jones is coaching England, he has his favourite team in his mind and is building his tactics around that team. That's all well and good except when any of those players are not available he doesn't appear to change tactic. In a way the kicking game may be his answer, it's a gameplan you can play with pretty much any players as long as your 9 and 10 can do the kicking game well. [/QUOTE]
