England 45-22 Australia. A Test Steve Borthwick and his squad needed to win, and they delivered at Twickenham. But what stood out?

One of the main concerns for a head coach when selecting a 6-2 replacements bench, as opposed to a more conventional 5-3 split of forwards to backs, is backline injuries.

Owing to the fact one of the two backs in a 6-2 must be a scrum-half, that leaves just one player covering fly-half, centre, wings and full-back, or able to cover some of those positions with a rejig of other players on the pitch.

What is unique in rugby at the moment is the presence of a small pool of genuine hybrid players. That is to say, players who can perform as a forward and as a back.
