[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 665189, member: 56232"] The likes of North and Savea would probably look pretty mediocre in the England setup too. We are awful in how we use our wingers. They nearly always get a ball that has been shovelled across to them because everyone inside has no options. As a result the wingers have absolutely no space and an entire settled defence up and ready. May looks like a rabbit in the headlights because he's not a big player yet every time he gets the ball it's in a crap position and he's desperately trying to make something from nothing. Give him some space to act and I'm sure we would see he actually has a lot of talent. Yarde is a bit bigger and so can try to rough his way through but again he's not playing to potential because he's so badly utilised. We treat our wingers like centres and expect them to somehow bash through the defences. You only need to look at Lancasters experiment with Tuilagi on the wing to see what we expect our wingers to do. [/QUOTE]
