[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 799839, member: 73592"] This is the bit for me, personally. Too many people can't separate out "Ford had a bad day from the tee" with "Ford had a bad day". In general play, Ford was pretty good (despite Barrel's pre-written script). The ball moved well once it had finally arrived, and was generally in the right place at the right time to make the line-breaks; we played in the right parts of the pitch and moved the Welsh defense around; territorial kicking was generally pretty good, though occasionally poorly communicated with his runners. But yes, his place kicking was dire. If that were Cips; people would be excusing his kicking left, right and centre - but no; it means that Ford was outright bad; and the good things he did are irrelevant. Charlie Hodgson had the same rep (though he flaked far more than Ford has with the boot - if possibly not as badly in one single match) [/QUOTE]
