Could Farrell be converted into a fullback instead of Daly ?
Tackle completion percentage would plummet even further. He's also no better at passing, nor does he have Daly's pace.
So you could, but it wouldn't be any kind of improvement.

As has just been suggested to me, Daly has been taking running lessons from Alex Goode. Little skips before getting mashed in contact.

That shouldn't be a penalty to France in my opinion. Wasn't touching the ball, and very quick to blow

And just to make the point again: that's THREE turnovers by Villiere.

Hard to see England coming back. French are just too good in defence.

I don’t think his tackling is worse than Daly’s and his aerial skills can’t possibly be worse.
Watson would also do a good job at fb

Haven't seen him in the offense (missed the 1st half) but defensively he's been priceless so far, securing those surprise stray balls.

That's the correct answer.
Farrell's tackle completion stats are already poor at inside centre. There's no way they get better in the more exposed position of fullback and we definitely don't need worse than Daly's efforts there.

I wonder if that's from his 7s background - don't commit too early and everyone has to know how to compete for the ball.

I actually think winning this game for England will be worse. They'll continue to ignore big problems with their team. Their next Southern Hemisphere tour will be a wake up
