George Ford
Could not put any shape on England game. Hooked early before injury forced him back on. 4
.
....says the BBC. In truth Ford was a big part of England's loss, along with a spluttering lineout poorly managed by Itoje.
.
The stats say Ford made all his tackles, but in truth he was driven back and helped on almost every tackle. George constantly needed minding by his loosies.
.
But he is part of a distinguished flippy flyhalf club, including Carlos Spencer, the Quaalude, the Cip, Jantjies and now George. These guys look so good when things are going right as they were for Jantjies against the rReds.....a slow defence, run onto your marker, flip into the gap for Janse.
.
But when the defence is fast as it was for Ireland yesterday the whole thing breaks down. You just can't make it work in tight test matches..

So defensive stats is not to be used and the answer is Farrell with his 37,5% missed tackles. Eddie Jones knows nothing about rugby and especially about backline play since he selected Ford at flyhalf because the almighty Mozart believes so.
Bring on the slow-thinking and poor decision-making flyhalfs because weight is all that counts and donkey-kicking is the norm.

Damn I've hooked a klip vis again, aren't there any more agile fish in the sea?

Your support of Morne Steyn and Fat Fransie as flyhalfs tells us what really goes on in your rugby-ignorant top storey. Best advice - start thinking before you claim you know more about rugby than Eddie Jones and Plumtree.
