        Nah not replaced, improved on! Does anyone see an improvement in ABs from those that left 2015 to now? Not that I see in 6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 14 (NMS to BFA), or 15 (BFA to DMac) - 11 is debatable, Jules was great vs France, and good through RWC but not as good over the year.

          @machpants I think if we had settled on a #1 mid-field it would not be as big of an issue.

          We have quality options there, but did we play the same duo in any game this year (injury obviously played it's part)

              You could pretty much say "world rugby". Pretty special players.

                well, yea, we know that. But in all honesty only 7 & 10 are nailed on World GOATs.

                  Low key 9 at that point of his career was probably the least divisive selection at that position we've had in my lifetime.

                      12 too IMO, as his allround game was complimented by being an absolute fucking beast that would give the opposition nightmares trying to tackle.

                            "England's recent win over New Zealand has shown their aura of invincibility is fading fast. Today England will smash it forever."

                                  We've lost someone else now: Fear Factor.

                                  Is that Max Factor's sister btw? Maybe we'll get her back now that Ma'ascara is back in town ...

                                  We're pretty careless about looking after our people ...

                                    @booboo so he is admitting that he feared us previously?

                                    The legacy you face is more intimidating than any opposition...

                                    At least we still got our legacy! Or did someone take that too? 😞

                                          Cheers, funny. maybe that's why he's so good in open field rugby, he's very real without pretense or overthinking, simple and nice, plays naturally.
