#2. Farrell at fly-half
Woodward wrote: “I cannot understand why so many people are against Farrell — he must start for England at either 10 or 12. Fly-half is his best position and I still believe England are badly short of a truly world-class 12.”
Previously, Woodward wrote in his column for the Mail Online: “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.
“Playing a mercurial fly-half such as Marcus Smith only works if you have the game plan and players around him to match. If you pick him, back him all the way.”
