Boks by about 30 looking at the 2 teams! They are going to
absolutely monster us up front and they aren't mugs in the
backs.
Eddie has selected a strange team, in bit sure what he is trying
to do with English rugby at the moment.

How does the "new defensive system" reflect on PG?

In no way at all -- there's a new bloke doing it - and we
defended like drains for the last year.
Guess we'll never know if it was Gustard or the team --
certainly Quins defence is 1000 times better already and
improving all the time.

Not sure about the back row at all but it wouldn't surprise me
if Morgan wasn't considered up to the levels of fitness expected
just yet. As for the rest of the forwards, I'm not sure who else
they'd pick really. In the backs Teo is a weird selection -
other than that I don't see any real howlers given who's
available.

And the team gets weaker still with Tuilagi out and Ashton in, I
was looking forward to Tuilagi running hard as a finisher, but
Ashton will not help a team going backwards all the time

I agree that Tuliagi is better going forward , but cant help
thinking that having Ashton on the bench to cover the back 3 is
a better option than Tuilagi .
Ive given up trying to second guess what Eddie Jones' game
plans are , but can only think he intended Slade to move to 11,
14 , 15 if needed and Tuilagi to come in . I expect now he will
use Farrell to cover the centres .
Personally I would have started Tuilagi instead of Teo

At 12? People have talked about him playing there for years and
years but it hasn't happened under any club or country coach
(even when he has been fit for more than 5 minutes!)

Nope I would have played him at 13 and Farrell at 12

Why is Slade playing centre should be Daly and MB at full back?
