Going back to former England players, it would be wrong not to propose Johnny Wilkinson. He\u2019s got potential to be a brilliant faithful. But who would dare suspect him of being a traitor? It\u2019s been a pleasure to see Joe Marler on the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Oo I like those suggestions, yes Marler has been pretty special. England are being faithful to their attack right now as they turned the ball over in the 22. With an advantage, Ford opts to the boot and Feyi-Waboso almost gets to it. But have Australia deliberately knocked it out? Well, the TMO isn\u2019t looking at it so we come back to the advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Kellaway denies Feyi-Waboso.
