Do we really think Farrell is the answer to our centre problems, lets not forget he is a fly half who couldn't get his position in the U20's for George Ford, so they manufactured a centre position for him. Bring Back Tuilagi and pair him with Barratt. Also get rid of Hodgson, who yet again has proved he is not up to playing International rugby, even against the weaker nations.

I would start Farrell at fly half with Barrit and Tuilagi as centres, dickson in for youngs and put Simpson on the bench and rest Youngs until he recovers form. Morgan straight switch for Dowson and probably put Lawes on the bench instead of who?? 2nd row difficult as Plamer and Botha have been OK and I rather like the look of Parling. Have to think more about that one ( as I am sure this will be one of the harder decisions for Lancaster). Oh and Sharples for Ashton until Ashton recovers some sort of form. Thats rather a lot of changes but I dont think it will alter any cohesion, I think it will improve us a little.

i agree mostly but would play dickson ahead of a hugely out of form youngs, robshaw at 6, wood at 7 (feel bad for croft though), palmer at 5 and farell at 10.

that should insure we lose by less than 20!

Had to really, not much of their skills, or any skills on show.

Is Flood still in the mix?

Hope not!
