Might swap them around, particularly in defence, but agree that they’d likely better off starting swapped around.

I would have liked to see him at 8 and Wilson at 6 …

Anyone else think the Wallabies will target Cokanasiga with the high ball?

Te’o has got to be liking the thought of running at him…

As for Nathan Hughes i’m not impressed, for me in an England shirt he’s a low rent Billy Vunipola, as he doesn’t seem to make the yards and his higher body position going into contact makes him easier to tackle.
