Much better overall for a selection.
Front row I am happy with. I think Joe will miss out as a
starter to Genge, but I think Stuart is better for giving a
stable platform in the scrum than Sinkler, who I think would be
best as an impact player
Martin I think needs a big game as I thought last week he looked
a bit lacking, otherwise I could see Chessum slotting back in
there once fit.
No real issues with the backs except the usual grumbles about
JVP/OF but lets face it Farrell will always be the starting 10.
Daly I'm not too fussed about for the squad we have to pick
with. Overall I think with maybe max 4 changes will be the team
to run out against the Argies

At the risk of sounding like a member of the anti-kicking
brigade, which I am not, Youngs and Ford on the bench instead of
Care and Smith doesn't suggest it's going to be the most
entertaining game

I don't think we're going to be entertained until the RWC is
well over, and even then it's unlikely while Borthwick is in
charge.

Also these are warmups - where possible everyone needs to get a
game and certain combinations need to have time together.

Except it’s as close to a starting XV as you can pretty much
get.
Smith will be lucky if he makes it to the bench this World Cup.
And DC may not better his Uruguay appearance.

Last weeks 8/9/10 looks to have paid for playing the ‘defined’
team plan which was never their forte. Hopefully they will get a
better chance during the tournament and not a dead rubber match
or chasing a lost cause, especially for Danny in his last chance
World Cup.

Well they had better win and win convincingly at home against a
weaker Welsh team.
If they don’t England really are in trouble.

Thing that makes me laugh is that we are playing a certain
'style' in order to assure a win.....but we aren't doing that
either!!!
