[QUOTE="Jakedood, post: 714957, member: 72409"] 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 :) If his only contribution in being on the shoulder of the break is against a team against whom England had minimal defensive responsibilities and walked all over, doesn't that back up MSF's point about Robshaw being more valuable if he leaves some of the hard tackling work to others and looks to be that support runner, or by lurking for the turnover instead? Edit: Sorry new to this, so lost the quote marks somewhere in here! [/QUOTE]
