[QUOTE="Jakedood, post: 826999, member: 72409"] Hopefully Hughes can go someway to replacing Billy, he is no slouch in the ball carrying department either, although Billy's performances have rightly been called world class recently. The tackling must improve, you're right here... admittedly, Australia dont have the size of Argentina, Fiji or South Africa, however if we let the likes of Folau break a tackle or two, we're screwed. I'm expecting Hartley to have a much bigger game this week, as he quite simply has to. Watching Ireland last week, in the first 5-10 minutes, Australia had a chance of turning over the ball nearly every ruck, with someone over it, and Ireland maybe got a bit lucky not to get pinged more for holding on in this phase... England will need to be incredibly sharp around the park to avoid getting turned over in the key areas of the pitch, and its something I've actually not heard much about so far, so our whole back row trio are going to have to be on point, and our attacking shape must be spot on with our support players [/QUOTE]
