[QUOTE="goodNumber10, post: 706647, member: 71068"] Yes! yes! That one incident has nothing to do with what people are pointing out about Fords defence, it's not about making the tackles. No one has said he doesn't tackle, infact pretty much everyone has said he makes his tackles, but everyone as said his tackles are passive when in the usual defensive line. He gets walked backwards a number of times, AND England move him out to the wide channels when they settle into their transition defence. Go back and watch the game again, he's being protected at times, [B]and THAT is fine[/B]. But please don't' make out he's some brilliant defensive behemoth who's defence shouldn't be questioned because he makes a side on hit Faletau [B]that still lets him offload[/B], because he isn't.
