[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 437430, member: 12190"] I'm with you on this one. It's too early too lose confidence in Flood at 10, we shouldn't forget how he began turning england's backs around against france in the last game of the 2010 six nations and how he guided us (albeit less well in the last few games) through this last tournament sucessfully. For me, although we played far better yesterday it was not down to wilkinson, and the fact that he didn't have his best game yesterday shows there's not a huge gulf in the form of the them both. we're still not quite where we need to be in the way we distribute ball through our backs and I think an on-form flood is the best answer to that. I think i'd start flood against Argentina. On the other hand, Johnson probably won't because he will be in for a ton of criticism if he 'fixes what wasn't broke' by changing it around too much, especially if we then play less well. Flood was poor against wales but then the makeup of the whole team was abit **** so he can only take so much blame. [/QUOTE]
