Actually not a bad team.
I think it will be interesting to see how Manu goes, as I
personally don't think OL has nailed down 12, whilst not doing
much wrong.
Pleased to see Ribbans back in for Martin, who's been large
absent.
Billy aside, there probably isn't a better team from the squad
more likely to work than this one. Whilst I would prefer DC/MS
at 10, I have some comfort knowing both will come on together,
as MS will get far more out of DC then Youngs, and probably the
same in return for Ford with the Leicester mentality.

Does look more balanced, a couple of gripes as in Manu not
really a 12, his hands are still rubbish. Daly is not a winger
and I'm not sure when Watson last played.
I accepted Billy was a no for all.

I just hope that the game plan isn't that the 9 takes the ball
from the ruck and either box kicks, or passes to 10 to kick

What's interesting for me is that Marchant has started at 13 in
all the games so far. It may mean that they're keeping the
Manu/Lawrence combo to surprise Argentina with, but it looks
more likely to me that he has nailed the 13 shirt. And
deservedly so - he's been one of the best performers so far.

Now that is wishful thinking.

Don't worry, he could also pass to a prop who runs straight into
3 set defenders.

You’ve identified a game plan! I just see 15 disconnected
players who are unsure what they’re allowed to do.
