[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 706639, member: 56232"] It has everything to do with what I was saying. Ford has an undeserved reputation, did it really look like he struggled against the big Welsh runners or that his channel was one open to exploitation? Nope. However do you think May would have stepped in if rather than havign a reputation as a defensive liability, Ford had a reputation for being good enough to hold his own? May stepped in because he wrongly assumed Ford would not make the tackle. One has to ask how much of that was instinct and how much is due to the negative reputation that the likes of Ford have in defense? Also people have complained about Gatland's stupid antics for ages but he has 5(?) years of contract left. Wales are stuck with him. [/QUOTE]
