RWC19 "Stuff"
Re: RWC19 "Stuff"
Churlish to pick too many holes in a very good team performance. I would however like to praise Watson who has added a lot to England's right wing both in attack and defence. For me he offers so much more there than Nowell.

He'll pick the back three he thinks will give England the best chance of winning. It was a bold selection for today's midfield, entirely justified by how well Slade played, so he's shown he's not afraid to change things.

Daly's a superb rugby player, but Watson's a better fullback. Moving Watson to 15 and bringing Nowell in strengthens the back 3.
Watson and May were very good today. Daly, as before, was found out in the one on one tackle.
Re: RWC19 "Stuff"
Think he likes daly at 15 for his boot as much as his attacking qualities. May and Watson are ok kickers but that isnt the strongest part of their games. I agree he wasnt at his best yesterday but think Eddie wont change next week.

Cheika quits as Aussie Head coach. No real surprise there!

I'd swap Watson and Daly over, but I don't think Eddie will make any changes. We will see.
