Re: Ford dropped, England team for Oz
Daly was so bad it was almost funny, burned twice & no attempt at a tackle, one on one you would back the opponent everytime.
Ford really controlled the game when he came on, but the contrast with the AB's is striking, they just keep playing for the full game, it's a good job for every other team that Julian Sevea doesn't have the work ethic of his brother.

To win is not as important as playing with style!

Only just seen this that prediction went seriously wrong didn’t itTTRITH wrote: ↑Sat Oct 19, 2019 7:44 amI just dont see the logic in dropping your form 10, or by moving Manu to 12. Ford and Manu are in great form, why would you change it now? Why bring in Slade who has barely played any rugby recently?Mark62 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 18, 2019 12:22 pm Just don’t get the negativity.
I understand people are disappointed that Ford is on the bench, but all this anti Farrell nonsense.
If anything it’s him that’s been playing out of position till now, and he is a big match player.
Are people suggesting that Saracens have achieved all they have despite having Farrell at 10.
As for losing the pack is what was expected maybe with the exception of Lawes for Kruis, and there’s a fag papers width between them, and there is more than enough fire power in that back line to beat anyone
We're going to play far more route 1 rugby, with Manu taking up the Barritt role. I just hope he doesn't pick up an injury.

I didn’t realise it was from last week.

Oh and I am very happy. In fact, I’m delirious.
