Would Farrell get in our side ?

[mol2]

He's a talented kid with a solid kicking game.

As yet he's not displayed much of a running/attacking game. Has he got one? Hard to tell at Saracens - partly because they put him at inside centre with a plodder outside him.

He could do with playing at fly half with an attacking inside centre on his shoulder.
I'd be tempted (for England) to have him & Flood inter-changing between FH & IC - Flood at FH when attacking. Flood lacks the confidence in his kicking game to be a world class fly half - however that ceases to be a weakness if you have a Farrell along side him.

Talk of George Ford playing at for England may just be a bit early - a handful of Tigers games for a teenager is a bit soon given he's not a big physical presence & probably needs to fill out more. Got the talent but has he got the physicality for the modern game.

At this stage of his development, the answer is no but with guidance and training from our coaching team!

He'd be more useful than Matt Tait!

I take it that is a "no" Big Dai?

[gimme]

I reckon he`s too old Bill

[Crumblies]

He'd be more useful than Matt Tait!

More useful than Louis Deacon & Jordan Crane as well Big Dai?

[Big Dai]

Of course not...don't be silly. They are both Forwards!

Ooops!! I thought we were discussing Farrell Junior.
