This. He might have some problems that teams are starting to exploit, like the high bomb, but sensible play can remove that (e.g. more pressure on the opposing kickers), or moving him away from full back into the halves. I think a major part of how we and others have been neutralising him is that Wigan's entire setup is based primarily around him, which I hope would not be the case here. Could you imagine how much difficulty a team would have trying to pin down a combination like Tomkins, Myler and Ratchford at the same time? If they practice their kicking some more, I reckon that would be a killer England pivot setup...
