“10 and Captain” – How England would line-up under Sir Clive Woodward

SECOND-ROW:

4. Maro Itoje (Saracens)
5. Courtney Lawes (Northampton Saints)

Woodward wrote: “There is just not enough pace in this England side, which is highlighted by Owen Farrell and Courtney Lawes. Both should be in the starting team but at fly-half and second row respectively. Doing that would allow for players with the extra pace England are lacking.”
