[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 938346, member: 73144"] On Farrell....I have no issue with him at 10. He’s had some brain farts, but we’ve also played some fantastic rugby with him there. My problem is that he needs help. Playmaker, goal kicker and captain with all the onfield responsibility and media stuff etc that entails is a massive ask. If Faz is being stubborn or getting it wrong, who’s in his ear? For all the talk about “the group” who’s giving him on field counsel or challenge? I see very little of it. I’d prefer him not to be captain, but really who else is there? Who’s got the stature, the gravitas, the aura, the nous? Others made plenty of mistakes too. Nowell should have put Youngs in for the try rather than kicking and also missed two tackles that led directly to tries. May couldn’t take down a hooker in open field. We shouldn’t get too hung up on today. It was a freak match, but it highlighted some big issues. Pleased to see Scotland giving it a proper lash eventually. [/QUOTE]
