Quote: Bondi_Warrior "Thankfully your not the England coach, a winger on the bench????
I noticed you yourself did not select a 17.

And yes a winger on the bench, does it not occur to you that players most open to injury are the Backs?

Quote: Bondi_Warrior "Burrow at 7 and no Hall?
And yes Burrow is a half back and in this day n age 6 & 7 are virtually the same position. And Hall is in the team, just on the bench after that abysmal effort in yesterdays game, i mean running across the field in your own 30 and then throwing a wayward pass to a none expectant player.

A 6 and 7 aren't the same, that's why we can't beat Australia.

when i say this i dont mean to sound disrespectful, but ive been playing at 6 for 3 seasons now after switching from 7 and it is the exact same, i dont see why switching from 7 to 6 could be any different than switching for 6 to 7.

and i dont mean switching at amateur level, i switched to represent Scotland

Don't think there was much wrong with the team selection. Sooner or later people are gonna have to face up to the fact that Australia have a bigger pool of better players to select from than England do, hence why they invariably beat us.

Sorry mate, don't get why you'd have a player who plays at 1 at 6 and a player who plays at 6 at 1.

Watkins over Yeaman, like it.

Basically.

we have the same job to do, our positions are (nearly) exactly the same, the only difference is one of us kicks, the other doesn't and i play down the left and my 7 down the right

Having split halfbacks is a terrible idea, it slows down attacks and you can spot a set move coming a mile off because the halfbacks usually go over to the same side of the pitch for them.
