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.
