Argentina have definitely brought them game in a lot, you don’t beat New Zealand, England, Australia, and Scotland twice without having elevated your game. Japan game masked a lot about Englands lack of speed and creativity in the back line against top level defences (think the Smith and Farrell combo still isn’t working, smith doesn’t seem confident enough to operate for England at 10 without a lot off space which we had in the last 10mins against New Zealand, and although Farrell is kicking and leading well, he offers no run threat at 12 and slows the game around him down to the detriment of Manu), plus Eddie is still only picking more experienced players May and Nowell who are getting slower and hasn’t brought through any younger wingers outside of Freddie Steward. It’s a bit better news with our forwards although they have been giving more technical penalties away recently and the jackling and turnover ball we were so good at in the last World Cup seems to have regressed. The starting front row have been very good and lock position we have sorted as well as some good replacements. Just need sort the 6,7,8 positions, which I think on that score our best bet would be Lawes at 6, Curry at 7 and either Dombrant or Simmonds at 8.
