[QUOTE="spartan32, post: 802948, member: 72322"] Nowell to start over Yard, I just think he's better. I'm not sure that Brown did enough wrong to warrant replacement by Goode. The Ford/Faz axis clearly worked so I'd imagine that would be the way to start, but if Te'o is really the player he is made out to be then maybe EJ will want to start him at 12 to soften up the Aussie midfield, but it would be a hell of a first cap. Id prefer Daly on the bench over Slade as he's a real firecracker and could cause problems for tired legs. Then have Care on bench and pack the rest with forwards as this is where we seem to have the advantage over the Aussies. I too would like to see Clifford over Lawes, more dynamic and again good to run him out against tired legs in the 2nd, but Lawes isn't exactly a bad option. The Aussies saw what they could do to us when they move the ball fast and wide and no doubt that's exactly what they will look to do on Saturday. We have to slow them down and force them onto the back foot. I'd like to see a full on wolf pack defence deployed. Smash them in midfield and push them onto the back foot and into a kicking game which they don't really favour. Have youngs and care sweeping behind the line to counter any dinks over the top. Shackle and frustrate them and the mistakes will come. Not having Pockock available does help our cause but let's be honest the Aussies have a raft of quality lads to fill the voids and England are going to need to raise their game again to clinch a historic victory. I can't wait [/QUOTE]
