England did similar in the world cup but adopted a different formation 3-5-2. This gives you an extra body in the pressing area of the park.
When playing a big physical team, I wonder if we are better with 3 big uns at the back and the extra body in the middle. Might be a change for Saturday but I suspect we will go with the same line up.
Any thoughts?
