Earl, 27, believes a move into the centres would not require major changes to his game.<\/p>\n
“When you perform well as a 12 or a 13 and when you perform well as a back row, the performance looks very, very similar,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I think the one occasion that you might be doing something different is literally scrummaging.<\/p>\n
“I don’t want to be like this sort of trailblazing guy who’s done a bit of everything, but I’m just trying to stay true to what I am as a player.”<\/p>\n
Earl made 73 metres with ball in hand – more than all but two of his team-mates – in Saturday’s 25-7 win over Australia.<\/a> The Saracens star ran in the opening try from just inside the Wallabies half to help himself towards that statistic.<\/p>\n He is not the only forward Borthwick has flagged as having the potential to play in the backs. <\/p>\n Pollock, who has scored three tries in a little over an hour of Test rugby for England, has been earmarked as a possible wing option.<\/p>\n “I think he’s quicker than me,” said Earl of Pollock.<\/p>\n “We haven’t had a race, and we probably should at some point, but he’s certainly up there with the quickest in the squad, never mind with the forwards.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
