[QUOTE="RugbyMarvel, post: 892903, member: 75369"] England’s usual game is an astute kicking game, focusing on the box kick and chasing. Then the forward look to suffocate and strangle sides in the set piece. Ben Youngs did that very effectively. Richard Wigglesworth if he started, would effectively do that role. Then with 20/30 to go England don’t tend to be too far ahead on the scoreboard. Care comes on and against tired legs, ups the tempo and breaks the game up. We then tend to score a lot more in that last quarter, hence often flattering final score lines. Wigglesworths two outings have been short spells off the bench, a role that isn’t utilising his skill set. Against Scotland, Care would have been more effective chasing a game and Wigglesworth would have been arguably more effective trying to work out what was going wrong in the first 60, and alleviating through improving the kicking tactics (our kicking was wayward and often straight down Hogg or Russell’s throat. I don’t think Wigglesworth should be England’s Scrum half going forward, but he wouldn’t do an awful job if he started. Not built for a bench role, especially when England try to open up in the last 1/4. [/QUOTE]
