Re: Jeremy Guscott v Manu Tuilagi - who was better?

Tuilagi was injured too much to challenge Guscott I reckon. Both great players though.

If Scotland and Ireland can continue to poach players from the likes of England, NZ and SA then they will continue to do well. They have poached far more effectively than Wales and the results speak for themselves.

Difference for England yesterday was our pace. Pace to get ball away from breakdown, pace to pressurise in defence, pace of our backs and the search for outside space. We can improve enormously but this is the way to go.
