[QUOTE="Zed, post: 482643, member: 38503"] He lacks pace and that is something that is potentially going to limit his ability to be an attacking force at international level. You look at all the good attacking 10s out there, Carter, QC, Giteau even Cipriani, they all have bags of pace, a decent step and are able to make breaks. Farrell doesn't have that ability and he could affect Englands attacking potential in the backline if he is at 10 or worse 12. Defenders know he doesn't have the pace to beat them on the outside and they know he'll either kick or pass. If he does go by himself, he'll be easily tackled. Players like Quade Cooper have that pace and side-step and defenders know they have to watch him, he sucks in defenders. If he has to play, stick him at 10 & Barritt/Tuilagi in the middle. [/QUOTE]
