[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 934764, member: 39240"] I think there is no question of Sexton being toxic. He is as you point out a squad player. He comes across alot as a moody spoilt brat lately. But all 10's do. ROG, Farrell, Wilkinson, Stephen Jones and many more did. Andy Goode is the only exception. The issue here is for alot. Sexton (and Murray) are out of form by a long shot. And these things happen but people then will look to add in to it. Simple fact is Sexton is out of form and alot of what he is trying just isn't coming off. It doesn't help then that others around him are also out of form and the team as a whole are out of form. The 3 scenarios I see possibly coming are: 1. They return to provinces and really lift game. And well be back as a good team for RWC. 2. The Schmidt effect has possibly went stale and we struggle in RWC possibly peaking a year too early. 3. A knock on from 2 we try to be stubborn and not change the blatantly obvious until it's too late and crash out. Blatantly obvious would be like if it was clear Best can't physically last at this level anymore but we still pick him. Not saying that the case just an example. [/QUOTE]
