[QUOTE="Crapspray, post: 781761, member: 58918"] To be fair to him, he almost got away with it and won a lineout for England five yards out. Lacey was all for ignoring it and giving England the throw, but the touch judge intervened. Plus Laidlaw is a mumbling bore who should spend more time looking at how to run a game from 9 than blaming a referee for three months. Plenty of schadenfreude to make up for it. That was definitely all of George's work. Nothing to do with the other fifteen forwards. To answer your question, because he has 67 caps and no one else is an ideal candidate. He threw 91% and did his job round the park. He got in Lacey's ear by the end as well. As Jones has repeatedly said, he put a team out to beat Scotland not to win the 2019 RWC. Hartley was enough to do that. I'm more concerned with the performances of, in order: Ford, a huge gap, Marler, Launchbury, and Cole. Sort that out before we depose the captain. [/QUOTE]
