Farrell-Burgess as inside backs? England opted for the conservative way, kicking and defense.

 @ mike,

Samoa's bench is wrong (it's wrong in the PR's news from where I supose you copied and pasted). You copied:
20 Vav, 21 Vavao Afemai, 22 Mike Stanley
but Mike Stanley is starting. From the same PR mews: " Mike Stanley, TJ Ioane and Motu Matu'u all coming into the team for their first RWC starts.

Stanley and Matu'u both played off the bench in the win over the USA, but are now in the starting team at the expense of Tusi Pisi and Ole Avei, respectively, who both move to the bench."

So the 22 has to be Tusi Pisi. And the 20 is Vavae Tuilagi. So the bench should be:

20. Vavae Tuilagi  21. Vavao Afemai, 22. Tusi Pisi

 Thanks ABF
I did not look at the article - rather at the team as listed and checked nothing - just copied and paste it .
