Shaun Edwards popped over for a post-match interview with ITV. After, he was embraced by Lawrence Dallaglio as Sir Clive Woodward hung out a hand for far too long in what was awkward TV gold.

Has there ever been anything unintentionally funnier than Clive Woodward just standing motionless for about 10 seconds with his hand out waiting for a handshake from Shaun Edwards?

WOODWARD'S GUN ENGLAND XV

BACK-THREE:

15. Freddie Steward (Leicester Tigers)
14. Ollie Hassell-Collins (London Irish)
11. Adam Radwan (Newcastle Falcons)

Woodward wrote: "Steward has something special about him, he is clearly very strong mentally, and now I would like to see those attacking skills more fully deployed at full back to complement his defensive qualities.

"If England are going to try a few players —something that should have been done two years ago — why haven’t we seen Adam Radwan or Ollie Hassell-Collins get extended runs in big matches that really count?"

CENTRES:

13. Henry Slade (Exeter Chiefs)
12. Manu Tuilagi (Sale Sharks)

HALFBACKS:

10. Marcus Smith (Harlequins)
9. Harry Randall (Bristol Bears)

Woodward wrote: "Other than a determination to give Marcus Smith an extended run at 10, which I applaud, I have no idea what England’s first-choice back division looks like. It changes every week."

Woodward wrote: "Assuming full fitness, the back row should be Tom Curry at seven, Sam Simmonds at six and Alex Dombrandt at No 8."
