[QUOTE="spartan32, post: 918799, member: 72322"] In a game where we are so outmuscled is it wise to play the Ford Fax axis. Surely that just gives SA a clear and easy channel to run down, ie Fords, giving them certain front foot ball every time and getting them behind our defence. Better I would suggest to play Faz at 10. But then I suppose you end up with Teo 12 and Manu 13, which is physically imposing but doesn’t lend itself well to smart rugby. Maybe put Manu 12 and Slade 13? Or start Teo 12 with Slade 13 then bring Manu on for Slade 2nd half once SA have got a bit tired to create havoc? Or play Teo and Manu from the start and look to bring Daley in as often as poss in attack to create the magic? Whatever Jones decides I think this one requires something a bit special from the backs as the forwards are really up against it. [/QUOTE]
