[QUOTE="Fuzzy du Plessis, post: 909258, member: 76333"] Well I suppose that should've been obvious to me, given that your only complaints were about 9 and 11. The only time you even mentioned the pack was when you said that it would've been beaten up without the Wasps man starting at 8. Besides, the point still stands. If Eddie had made substantial changes then any point of difference could be attributed to that instead of Danny. For better or worse Eddie has played what he believes to be his best available side, so quite how you could imagine Cipriani has been set up to fail is beyond me. If Eddie had made a raft of changes I get the feeling you would've been unhappy that Cipriani had been thrown into a scratch side. In the first test we had Robshaw starting a match at altitude and only 2 locks in the 23, one of which was was eligible for the u20s WC and was removed in the first half. Using your logic it would be just as ridiculous to say Ford was set up to fail so Cipriani could be brought in. Anyway, I'm not sure there's any need to worry about Cips. I think England will be much more up for it this week for the reasons stated earlier, and I can definitely see him making the 10 shirt his own for some time. Keep the faith. [/QUOTE]
