My bad again, I should have added a "lol" and a smiley to the original "my bad"! I'm mostly a lurker, but have been lurking for long enough to get the joke.- - - Updated - - -Isn't this the Hobson's Choice situation that other posters have bemoaned though? If you look the choice in terms of staff recruitment, if you're "recruiting" a scrum half, you have a set of essentials and a set of desirables. The way I see it, there isn't a SH in the EPS who has a full list of essentials, Care is at least a good breaking scrum half which I would call a desirable which you could say tips the scales in his favour. Given that both player's strengths and weaknesses are well known, I don't see a problem with picking the player whose strengths are best suited to a given game or whose weaknesses are less likely to be problematic.FWIW, maybe I've got a bit of a downer on Youngs, but I seem to have spent a fiar portion of the Six Nations screaming at him to get the ball out, then bemoaning the result when he actually does, so I'm happy with the change.

FWIW, maybe I've got a bit of a downer on Youngs, but I seem to have spent a fiar portion of the Six Nations screaming at him to get the ball out, then bemoaning the result when he actually does, so I'm happy with the change.
