[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 829805, member: 45598"] I don't rate Ford's game management whatsoever to be honest. I've seen him falter under the slightest pressure far too often, anytime he comes to Dublin it happens, he's had such a dominant team this year that doing the right thing at the right time doesn't matter all that much which is good for you lads because when he has to he rarely does in my opinion. His defence is greatly inferior to Sexton's too purely due to not being big enough for test level rugby unfortunately, I think protecting him is what's causing your weak defence out wide. He has all the skills Sexton has but comes up short both in his physicality and mentally, if the Lions knew they'd bully NZ Ford's your man, they won't though. [/QUOTE]
