[QUOTE="Yoshimitsu, post: 970687, member: 71899"] I can see us booting it straight to their back 3. We've been doing it consistently now for what seems like years. It's about trusting the defensive system. Personally I think when it comes unstuck it'll be a horror show. I suspect that All Blacks will love having the ball so we should do everything in our power to deny it to them. As well as skillful today, the All Blacks were brutal in contact and basically the Irish couldn't handle it. I suspect the same back-line will start (if May is fit). So that's no Ford starting. Kruis will be brought in at lock to try and counter what Whitelock and Retallick bring (loads). Interestingly England play a slightly different defensive system to both Ireland and Wales. It's a more considered pressure defence. I don't think it'll be as easy to play around as the Irish one was. Maybe...... England will have to play out of their skins to win this one. I hope they do.
