Surprised that Flood did not come on midway through the second half, why not?

I wonder what Jonno's thought process was

You could say he got it exactly right given the end result but I was surprised. Jonny is great at closing a game out but not chasing one. One of the things that was not firing was the back line. The Youngs/Flood axis worked very well during the six nations and really seemed to unlock the back line moving England forward. Why did he not make a double replacement? I can understand wanting to keep some form of continuity when things are going well but that was not the case on Saturday, and all that is before we discuss the kicking.

Thoughts?

The Argentinos were putting our rucks under serious pressure and in the past Flood hasn't haddled it that well. Maybe Flood had a minor niggle and they didn't want to make if worse if they didn't have to. Who knows. Probably done for multiple reasons.

Has to be a worry about how bad his form ahs been to go back to Wilko in the first place and then not even use him when Wilko was having a mare.
Given theres not another FH in the squad if one of them doesnt start producing England might as well go home now, or get Wayne Barnes to do them a favour or two.
