England team to start the Rugby World Cup Final against South Africa

We will miss Josh Lewsey's presence especially as Matthew Tait's tackling is not strong enough in the centre. Mark Cueto is also not a strong enough tackler against South Africa. I would have plumped for moving Tait to the wing and bringing in Dan Hipkiss at Centre. I think Mike Catt and Matthew Tait in the centre are a bit light on physical presence, although not brains and skill.

I have a horrible feeling about Saturday's match, I hope I am wrong but I fear a large South African score unless the England pack are totally dominant around the breakdowns. The England scrum may well be the stronger but I am less happy with our lineout against South Africa.
