Everytime he comes on he looks dangerous.
Start him soon please.
On a side note what was Walcott's pretendy being all annoyed and squaring up to people thing all about.
He looked rather silly.

Absolutely. What were they thinking though - two fine kickers in their side and they give it to a centre. Fair enough Biggar was out of position but then scrum half has to take responsibility to get it into touch (though watching analysis yesterday have to say a lot of credit has to go to Sinckler) . Moment it landed if George Ford's hands I knew we'd win. Daly has been brilliant really - forced himself into the side. Would like to see Watson at 15 when fit - but they can work as a Lewsey/Robinson combination. Interesting decision on Hartley - pulling him off (oo-er) after 44 mins was a big call. Farrell looking more and more like the side's leader anyway
It's a tricky one with Hartley. He's played very well and been the captain during this good run but how long can you keep playing him when there's a better player in his position waiting in the wings? The same thing will have to be considered when Robshaw is fit. He's been very good under Jones but at the minute Launchbury and Kruis would be the first choice second row and you can't really leave out Itoje. Good problems to have in any case.
we are missing Kruis enormously - which is no disrespect to those playing in his place, simply a very, very good player. I think Robshaw and Hartley will be replaced in time but good to have them around. Most of the Times journalists have George down as starting hooker for the Lions let alone England - as you say, good problem to have
