[QUOTE="big ginger 8, post: 893266, member: 53057"] I've seen this idea pop up recently, I have no idea where it's coming from to be honest other than maybe their size difference? Farrell is better at stopping someone big running right at him (as he should be) but that's about the only area he superior to Ringrose defensively. Ringrose has better positional awareness and lateral agility, making him better at defending in wider channels and when we're numbers down. He's not Payne but defence hasn't been a weakness at the top level for Ringrose. Of course there's every chance he'll be rusty on Saturday but everything being equal I'd have more faith in him than Farrell. [/QUOTE]
