[QUOTE="goodNumber10, post: 714943, member: 71068"] There wasn't really much of a point other than he read the game better than all our backs. :( I pretty much agree with what you're saying though, apart from on the tackling. I agree about getting over the ball more, but again I think this goes back to what England want in defence. I don't think getting over the ball is their priority in the contact area at the moment due to Launch and Coles having been out for so long, to me they just look to hit back behind the gain line and keep flooding forward - the turn over will come from a mistake or a counter ruck. I'd love to see him play 6 though. Italy last year, read Ford perfectly :) he was immense. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] in the wide 5 or the close 5? I'm not saying they are identical i just think we're missing something that Attwood and Lawes doesn't give us - i'm a fan of both but it feels there wasn't a good balance Saturday. [/QUOTE]
