[QUOTE="Tayga, post: 968857, member: 79351"] EJ has shown his hand for the knock out games and I think that this is what he thinks his strongest line up is. I would have put Marler in from the off as I think he has been outstanding so far and MV as a finisher. Also Marler »s scrummaging is better. Quite relaxed with the Lawes selection - Kruis gives you more in the kind out plus set piece but Lawes is very competitive at the breakdown which is where this game will be won or lost. A combination of Curry+Underhill+Itoje+Lawes should put pressure on the Pooper axis and slow Australian ball down. Backs wise I agree with putting Farrel at 10 - Kerevi is going to be targeting that channel directly and we know that Farrell will stand up And be counted . Tuilagi v Kerevi should trigger a few earthquakes but I like Slade’s return at 13 and JJ has always given the Aussies trouble through his line speed and interceptions. Make no mistake this is gonna be a hell of a scrap against a Cheika team desperate to win and who will put up a fight. I think England’s plan will revolve around territory , pressure building and squeezing the Aussies through first up tackling- and I don’t expect a pretty game . Close, hard fought scrap but England to win by 5 as our superior bench makes the difference. yes we have won the last 6 but a lot of this games were close run affairs [/QUOTE]
