Hopefully this will go some way to stop teams seeng us as a "one man team". Close down Rangi by all accounts but don't forget about Danny, McGoldrick, etc.

TBH I thought he did well for that kick for Tickle's try, but he did come up with a few errors as well. I think the next game should see Chase at 6 and Brough at 7.

Agree Brough should play, that partnership excites me more then brough / sinfield or chase / sinfield. However, can you really see King kev getting dropped?

Only if he gets injured, although even then he might still play. I don't understand McNamara, the exiles series is an excellent oppotunity to experiment with new combinations and partnerships, but sticks with a halfback combo that clearly didn't work well last year.

ben jeffries will replace chase

I think Chase has been told to play more conservatively for England (this isn't aimed at this post but generally for all posters) so people feel disappointed when he plays. At Cas he is the keystone of the side and not having another class half-back has meant that the need for him to perform as doubled. Having another half to take the load off him allows him just to concentrate on his game but people expect him to do what he does at Cas and lambast him when he doesn't.

Two assists in what was atrocious conditions and pee-poor handling across the board. I cannot think of any players that actually stood out, bar Roby, who is Mr Consistent.

Agree with Chase at 6 and Brough at 7. Brough has a better kicking game than Sinfield and is much more attacking and creative. Burrow off the bench to spell with Roby too (we cannot expect Roby to do 80 mins and I feel he is more effective spelled anyway in international rugby).
