[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 631648, member: 12190"] To be honest I'm more gobsmacked that people can't appreciate that we're not advocating shoving Tuilagi onto the scrap heap or hanging him out to dry; we're talking about getting the best out of him, and honestly, I think you'd have to be pretty blind not to have noticed the difference to our attacking shape with Tuilagi on the field...or that we've been at our attacking best prior to Tuilagi's return - which doesn't tell us that we shouldn't be playing him, but it does speak of the merits of a 7-man back game where no individual player is the "go-to" man. You'd also have to be pretty mad not to have noticed that Burrell breaks the gain-line - he averaged about 50 metres per game this tournament - and also the ability to run good lines really supports this.
