HALFBACKS:
10. Owen Farrell
9. Alex Mitchell
Woodward added: “Owen Farrell must start at 10. He was superb, and once someone like Farrell says: ‘This is the way we are going to play’, everyone plays that way. He did not over-play his hand and some of the stuff he did, like the quick tap penalty and the long left-handed pass to Arundell for his first try was great.
“We want the ball quickly out of scrums, off the top of lineouts and if he leads on that, the team will do it because he is a great captain and a great leader. I would start him at 10 and have George Ford on the bench to come on and take the game to a new level.
“Sometimes things don’t go your way and you have to adapt but England must go out there thinking this is the way to play. They have proved they can do it.”
