The team's lineups are starting to resemble complex puzzles, raising the question: can they finish strong? England has suffered a series of close losses, prompting scrutiny of the bench as a reflection of the coach's strategy for upcoming matches. Following the disappointing performance against New Zealand, Borthwick felt compelled to make changes. Aside from a minor adjustment of switching the jersey numbers of his two centres, the most significant alterations are among the substitutes. The previous 6-2 bench split has been replaced with a more traditional 5-3 configuration, now featuring Luke Cowan-Dickie and Ollie Sleightholme. As England prepares for their next challenge, the focus will be on maintaining composure and executing their game plan effectively in the crucial final moments.
