[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 825452, member: 73144"] Not sure the game taught us much apart from highlighting the gap between the haves and have nots and how substitutions destroy the flow of the game. EJ has put a great emphasis on fitness and it was noticeable how fit the England players looked, which is generally great, but....Binny is visibly thinner in the face and we know that Hughes has also shed some bulk; not saying that these 2 are one dimensional but their USPs are running through brick walls and I wouldn't like to see that jeopardised in favour of work rate. Our scrum wasn't convincing. Cole and Hartley look far trimmer than they have done, we know all about Mako, while Lawes looks positively scrawny. Lancaster got slaughtered for getting the front row conditioning wrong before the RWC. I hope history won't be repeating. [/QUOTE]
