England’s back three of George Furbank, Tommy Freeman and Immanuel Feyi-Waboso caused plenty of problems for Australia, but I think you have to include Fin Smith and Henry Slade in that as well.
Potentially, there is something in that backline that may allow us to see the Slade we see for Exeter that we have not seen as much for England.
Having the likes of Feyi-Waboso, Freeman and Furbank around Slade and them understanding the sorts of positions he can get them into – there might be some long-term benefits to that.
Feyi-Waboso is X-factor, there is no question about that. For his early disallowed try, he shifted his weight and beat someone with that pace – I do not think there are many people in the world who could do that.
When you have got players like him who can do that regularly, all of a sudden you are getting momentum.
There was a massive difference in ruck speed and in momentum; England were getting lined up defensively and pushing Australia back, whereas when you have got players like Feyi-Waboso and Ben Earl, and then when Henry Pollock comes on as well, you have got plenty of players who can break the line in traffic and it makes attacking that much easier.
Fin Smith is leading the team, he looks like he is a general and in control of the game.
He has got a safe pair of hands and communication from Seb Atkinson, he has got vision from Slade and then a back three that if you give them half a chance, they are going to bust the line, create opportunities and probably finish.
There were bits of Sunday’s game where if New Zealand were doing it, everybody would be ranting and raving about how complete some of those tries were.
