Nice to have such dilemmas,for my ywo cents worth .I would start with the same team ,accept Ashton for Monyeat 11.With JJ on the bench,,not sure if .Corbs is even match fit ,after his long lay off.So personnally wouldnt risk itEngland need to be a little more precise,and maybe have a tad extra pace ,,but at least they look like they are getting there .I dont expect the wallaby scrum to fall apart again to the extent it did against France tbh,but under pressure ,and giving away penalties yes.England can be victorious against Australia ,we have been the last 2 times weve met,andthat was with a team i feel a bit limted to the current one ,we are building..So feeling fairly confidant of a England victory by 12-15 points.

Johnathan Joseph should not be partnering manu, manu is a 13 he is our best 13 in a decade you cant move him, JJ is a 13, if you want someone to partner tuilagi other than barrett then its 12trees, he plays week in and out at 12, used to partner flood and manu and offers size, a big boot and good distribution...the longer we leave him out for loyalty sake and keep playing people out of position the more i get frustrated with Lancaster. Corbs is a must, Mako has done nothing wrong and needs to be let down without damaging his confidence but he needs more 1st team action at sarries and was always only a stop gap for now but a project for the future. Corbs is a unit, a desturctuive scrummager and pillar of our team, hes unfit so play him off the bench so he's firing when we meet some proper props against SA and NZ. Ashton is a must Ugo drops out

My thoughts are same team but:

- Start Joseph and bring in Barritt to close the game out

- Start Marler and bring in Corbs to give some game time

- Ashton for Monye
