[QUOTE="Isengard, post: 754806, member: 72456"] Is anyone at all prepared to defend the inclusion of Brad Barrit in the England team? Just wondered. He is a trier and gives his all but an international standard player? I know the other centres have not always performed but is Barrit actually better than any other currently available England 12? I cannot fathom his inclusion, except that SL is a coach who is suffocatingly defensive and values tackling power and solidity above every other skillset. I mean what is the point of having two decent wingers and a strong 13 in Joseph if the ball gets as far as 12 and gets carried, head down into contact about 50cm upfield and probably not over the gain line??
