[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 838483, member: 73144"] They might start playing as a team and taking collective responsibility rather than looking towards a past it "talisman". AKA the Gerrard effect. Parisse was a great player, but no longer. I read somewhere that he'd been on the losing side 90 times in tests FFS. What kind of mindset does that instil? [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Against Italy you could, unfortunately, pick a team with every chance of that kind of margin. A back line with Ford, Teo, JJ, Daly, May and Watson could cause carnage. Add in looser players like Mako, George, Clifford and Sinkler up front and the potential for damage is huge. But that wouldn't be the line up for the tougher tests, so why do it? [/QUOTE]
