[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 789977, member: 20956"] To be fair to Davies, he is currently where Webb was a year or two ago. Guy is a prolific try scorer and adds a lot to a team, but his decision making at the top level isn't quite there yet. Wasn't that long ago that Webb was throwing silly passes and getting intercepted by onrushing blitz defenders by picking the wrong receiver (did it twice vs Aus in 2013 - had he picked the right guy to pass to ,we'd have been in for a try both times). Obviously he's worked hard on that aspect to get to where he is now, and I'm confident that Davies will up his game and work on his decision making now that Webb is back fit! Anyway back on topic! I find Youngs' passing style odd in the sense that it looks as if it shouldn't really come off, but yet it still does! Watching the game last week, when he went off on one of his little runs around the fringes, it seemed really obvious where the ball was going, yet more often than not the pass came off and England made decent ground. Obviously as a spectator, I'm always gonna have a better overview of what's happening than any of the guys in the defensive line would, but it still looks so telegraphed! [/QUOTE]
