Earl and Pollock make case for backline experiment

England's new coach Steve Borthwick is considering deploying back row players like Ben Earl and Henry Pollock in the midfield, exploring hybrid player roles for the team. Borthwick sees the potential for these players to bring their pace and skills to new positions, like starting at center or wing. While the experiment could offer tactical advantages, there are challenges in transitioning players between backs and forwards positions, as seen in previous games.
