[QUOTE="Peat, post: 708864, member: 42330"] Would just like to add... Lots of praise for Twelvetrees, but not too much mention of him and Youngs completely missing the line break that leads to Italy's third try. Arguably its more Youngs fault (Tom not Ben) as he's the inside man, but I'd like to think a better read would have had Twelvetrees holding his ground a little. And speaking of Youngs, this time Ben, he never should be up in the line in fringe defence off of slow ball. Never. That's what happens just prior to the first try, Ghiraldini barrels through him for cheap yards, and Italy get the quick ball that creates Parisse's try in the next phase. However, I thought he did very well to get the ball away quickly to Ford in the build up to Joseph's first under a fair bit of pressure. There'll always be justified complaints about the level of some of his technical skills, but I feel those are overdone and his ability to exploit little openings when in form is well worth it. He's also got the strongest understanding with Ford of any of our scrum-halves, which is a huge plus at the moment. [/QUOTE]
