^^^No Dags, your original points still apply. Manu and Barritt are still a very one dimensional pairing, Manu runs some decent lines however, but neither of them can pass more than 5 yards - the handling for the Manu try was pretty poor and Barritt passed too early, not committing his man. For me they shouldn't start together (either one or other should start at 13 - gives more depth to the squad then). Robshaw is not an open side, but yesterday the whole team committed so well at the break down it hardly mattered - Launchbury played like an extra back-row forward! Brown did have a good game at 11 and against a team who kick as well as NZ (and the Saffas for that matter) it makes sense to have an extra full back. Although I don't really rate Alex Goode. B.Youngs is okay, but I prefer Care as his pass his sharper and he's quicker at getting the ball out of the ruck, Youngs just stands around waiting for it to come back.
Morgan, Wood, Launchbury, Parling, Cole all had stormers and the rest were all very solid (Manu benefitting from Dan Carter having a bit of a shocker in the tackle!).
Oh, and Freddie Burns is the future!!!
