[QUOTE="George Ford, post: 815317, member: 74118"] We can only assume the reason why Elton is a doubter to start is due to his injury. If he is declared fit then he will definitely start as he has been given the mantle to wear 10 (at least until 1 of Lambie or Pollard recovers to full fitness). Other wise said, it would be a major blow to his already low confidence to bench him based on his performance so far this year. That being said, if he won't start then he shouldn't feature at all and at least the Bok camp can shadow the reason for dropping him due to injury as well as giving more time to recover for next week's test against the ABs However, I feel that Elton should still start (if fit). Sure he hasn't been incredibly instrumental, but neither erratic, and I think the same can be said for the rest of the team. A bigger issue for me has been our defense. The Irish were able to expose some lapses in the first 2 tests, and the Argies totally dismantled our lines with their tempo and flair over the last 2 tests. Wouldn't really matter to me what style of play we want to play rather that of a positive attitude [/QUOTE]
