[QUOTE="Peat, post: 631504, member: 42330"] Not arguing anything about Barritt being a neccesity, or what Lancaster said he wanted, or the idea that Barritt potentially has/had more about him - But he showed very little but crash ball for England and was part of a partnership that looked limited for a relatively long time. Irregardless of whatever Lancaster says he wants, he is clearly prepared to compromise when it comes to having ball players. Lancaster has picked a fair few more teams that had no ball player than teams that had one non-physically imposing centre. To me, that is more telling than his comments to the media. Therefore I continue to think Eastmond has a difficult task ahead. Thing is, I must disagree. If Tuilagi could play wing, I believe there is a very strong case for starting him on the wing. It is quite possible that he could play wing to the desired standard. I would at the very least like to see it experimented with. [/QUOTE]
