[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 706652, member: 56232"] NOWHERE do I state Ford is a defensive behemoth, all I state is that he is nowhere near the liability some like to believe he is, has made more than 1 try saving tackle, was NOT that bad against the big Welsh runners and offers plenty in attack. Also you seem to be ignoring that weak defense was levelled as a reason not to use Joseph (again an undeserved reputation). No ford won't smash back the big guys and nowhere did I even come close to making such a claim. The closest I said was he doesn't struggle that much when it comes to gainline tackling nor is it a weakness England need to worry about. Fact is the Bath backs can do what needs to be done in defense so that isn't an argument against them being selected and can offer more in attack. [/QUOTE]
