[QUOTE="TheSaffycen, post: 631307, member: 71135"] Muliaina was an established outside centre for his club and Ben Smith is an utility player who plays 13,14,15 for his club. SBW on the wing I had forgot about but he came off the bench he did not start as a winger, he started one game at wing vs Argentina in the quarter finals. Tuilagi as a youngster played on the wing but is now established at 13 and he should start there, as a 23 maybe come onto the wing but would rather have Eastmond or Daly I think at the start when he first came in he was more of a stop-gap he was kind of just reliable, Barritt is a better player than is given credit for and is passing isn't Eastmond standards but isn't as bad as people make out. He did try to play a creative midfield and power player when Barritt got injured with 12. Tuilagi 13.Joseph he just felt that Barritt was a player that he wanted to lead the defence and help Tuilagi who was quite green at the time. Now Tuilagi has calmed down a bit Eastmond and Twelvetrees is our first choice 12's. [/QUOTE]
