I thought he had an excellent debut, considering.
He doesn't yet look match fit and I think he would benefit from having someone up top who could hold the ball up.
It will be interesting to see how he improves in the coming weeks.
Vunipola gets 3 weeks ban, which can be reduced by 1 week if he takes a tackle course.
England also have a long injury list as well as 2 banned for the match with Fiji.
Personally I'd have picked Dawson instead of Moeen, and Foakes instead of Woakes.
Moved Bairstow up to No.3 and kept Brook at No.6.
Dawson knows how to tie up an end and is the closest to Leach for that.
We need a proper keeper as we will have genuine pace when Wood bowls.
We already have two injured, Pope and Stokes.
Pope was told that if he didn't come out and field in the Aussie 2nd innings then he wouldn't be able to bat at 3.
