[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 526997, member: 48703"] McCabe outran an international winger against Argentina, despite only just returning from injury. Strangely though, both the fly halves who play centre at international aren't very creative at all. Farrell is probably one of the least creative centres there are, he only plays there because he is a capable tackler. Playing him as a centre lessens England's chances of scoring a try by about 50%. Argentina meanwhile are the exception to the rule of ball carrying centres. They play two fly halves in Fernández and Bosch at centre. They only play this because they seem to rarely get big monster ball carriers in their backs (young winger Montero who is upcoming is an exception), and the tactic of two fly halves hasn't really worked either, as both those fly halves just aimlessly shovel the ball down the line and don't draw defenders.
