Why on earth is Ryan Hall there? 

Been a great servant for England.... Such a shame he goes out like this

He's got about the same amount of quality possession as he did at the Roosters. I don't think he'll be the No.1 choice when the RWC starts, but he's had few chances to show anything.

Looks like this Fiji squad is a fair bit worse than the 2017 group? Any reason why?

First game after traveling and a fair few players missing. England/GB have had similar howlers in the past first time out.

He's had a very good game so far.

Rugby Union the only game in the world were the spectators handle the ball more than the players.

Big question is what he does with Welsby , or where

I think it depends on the fitness of Tomkins and Farnworth but I’d have him in the side. Preferably at full back. 

Sneyd and Williams are our best halves combination in my opinion

Well, if Tomkins is fit I would fo with 1) Tomkins 6) Welsby 7) Sneyd 9) Ackers.

Let Sneyd manage the game, Tomkins link with the edges, backs and tell Welsby to do whatever he wants.

Oh agreed, but its hard to see what Fiji take out of this beyond "well we can't be worse than that".

Have you got Victor on the bench

Been rank Fiji. They’ll be much improved with the quality of their missing players to come in. 
 

Welsby, Williams and Sneyd have put a huge question to Wane regards Tomkins. I sense he’s not fully fit and therefore do we need to rush him in? I’d say not but he will play I reckon.

Maybe start Radley at 9 so we don't have to carry a second 9 on the bench.

Radley plays 20 minutes at 9 then the rest as a middle.

The clock at the top of the screen appears to have stopped... 

Are the players moving on your screen?
