[QUOTE="msf, post: 716818, member: 72153"] Ford's kicking wasn't great, but quite a few of those kicks were rushed because of Youngs' poor service. As I said before, both are brilliant going forward, but both have weaknesses when put under pressure (Youngs service, Ford's size in defence). I think Young's is actually the more serious problem, since it has directly led to tries against us (such as the first try yesterday, and the try that lost us the first All Blacks test last summer. Ford's size might cost us a try from a 5 yard scrum, but then this is the case for a lot of 10s. Anyway, we don't have any decent alternatives at the moment to either Ford or Youngs, so let's just enjoy the ride. [/QUOTE]
