[QUOTE="Rocket Singh, post: 308178"] Seeing what Ireland and Scotland were doing at the breakdown and at the line out was light years ahead of what England were doing. Both teams have highly mobile packs who speed to every breakdown. Example, Scotland scrum inside Ireland's half, ball pops out and is spread wide by Scotland and goes forward before a ruck occurs. All of this within about 10 seconds and even before the Scottish ball carrier is hitting the ground, Euan Murray and another front rower is there in support already. Where was that with England last night? EDIT: As for Basturead, I'm sorry but if he isn't fit enough to last at least 70 minutes then [b]he shouldn't be playing[/b]. Saying he's had a long season or that he's had a rough patch mentally is just excusing the fact that somewhere along the line he isn't doing enough fitness training. If he fit enough to last 80 and stay sharp then he could be one of the most formidable centers in the world. Right now he's a handful but most sides know now that he'll start to fade on the half hour and be subbed at half time or on the 50th minute mark and I gaurantee you that every side worth their salt will be wanting to exploit that.
