       It also means you can get Eliot Daly on at Full Back. I think
       that's his best position if he's playing as an outside back, and
       our best option there (not convinced Watson is right in the FB
       role internationally).

       Brown was like a man possessed at the breakdown on Saturday. He
       must have had his face buried in the business end of 10 or more
       and got at least one steal, one that led to a try.

       Maybe there is an element of preparing for Mike not being
       around, and they want to give Morris a run at fullback? Or maybe
       it's simply squad/position rotation? And the added bonus is it
       will (hopefully) fire up Visser and Walker, both of whom possess
       excellent qualities. AT some point I think we'll be able to
       select wingers based upon our game plan, rather than stick with
       first / only choices.

       Felt to me like it was a directive from England, something that
       was mentioned either in commentary or on the highlights (forget
       which).
       As MB is expert under the high ball, is solid in defence and has
       a good boot, and as someone who played a lot at 15, I can only
       surmise that they want more pace with which to counter attack
       from deep. Judging by the try Morris set up for Earle, the
       decision seems to have merits, especially as Daly will replicate
       the role for England with extreme pace.
