How depressing? Groin-grabbingly, ball-achingly conservative & predictable. About as close as Robbo has got to a positive move is playing Matt Stevens ahead of Jules White, who's v much a specialist scrummager.
Cohen, Tindall & Noon tho? 3 identitical slabs of muscle to piddle away space & eff up any break Charlie H may happen to make. We could possibly accomodate Tindall at outside centre, but all three just shows such a limited scope of ambition for our game. Hell, why not go the whole hog & start Andy Goode at 10 too? He has a better kicking game than Hodgson & plan A is clearly to roll over the top of the Taffs...
England by 20.
