#CENTRES:
- 13. Henry Slade (Exeter Chiefs)
- 12. Manu Tuilagi (Sale Sharks)
BROWN WROTE: “Slade could have been man of the match. He looked brilliant and was the architect of two England tries. It makes such a difference when he is allowed to play with freedom. He has a rugby brain like Will Greenwood. So smart.
“I would say he is better than Greenwood in terms of athletic ability and distribution skills: long pass, short pass, kicking. If he were a New Zealander, he would be starting for the All Blacks. If everyone’s fit, you have Smith, Slade and Manu Tuilagi.”
