You could and I in fact would argue that of the bench, Lawes, Haskell, Care, Burns and Joseph should all be starting. Still I can see why Burns wasn't thrown to the lions on debut.

Mixed feelings as per usual....

Freddy should be in the 10 shirt on form but maybe this isn't the game to drop him in at the deep end.

Strangely this could be the ideal game for Farrell IF we get the Farrell we got in the Six Nations. Barring a total meltdown in the lineout for a second consecutive week we should acheive parity in the set pieces and get our fair share of possesion. What we won't do is get parity in the breakdown or collision areas.

As a result, much as I hate to say it, we're gonna need to kick 90% of possesion outside of the AB's 22 and nail our penalty kicks.

If we get the ice in the veins terminator of last season it's a great call. If we get the 2012/13 Farrell, we're screwed.

'Saracens fly-half Owen Farrell will start for England in place of the injured Toby Flood' that's funny, you'd think he'd definitely start instead of Flood even if he was fit considering he's one of the best 4 players on the planet this season according to the IRB...
