[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 482639, member: 33219"] But this is the thing. Most of us on here are agreed this Six Nations is the time to be giving young players caps and letting them mature in their England careers. If there were a lot of other players around sticking their hands up then fair enough, but there simply aren't. Talk about these options, but I'd love to see what the EPS options are that would alter our midfield so significantly that England would be transformed into an attacking force overnight. Because at the moment I see Farrell copping most of the blame for England creating nothing, when nobody else around him has created anything either (in particular Hodgson, who we'd all agree [I]does [/I]possess attacking ability). England managed to play some decent rugby at times with Hape at 12, and they managed to play some decent rugby way back when Wilkinson was 10. People don't seem to realise that without a Shane Williams/ Quade Cooper figure, then all attacking platforms are team efforts, created by pressure, quick ball, vision, skill, pace and good lines of attack with convincing dummy runners. The buck does not stop with one guy wearing 12. [/QUOTE]
