[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 544499, member: 13611"] @psychic duck I didn't say ASM! Check any of the Irish newspapers. I stand corrected on King's role with ASM. Nevertheless, it's unarguable that Clermont's ball handling is superb, an indication that he's done a terrific job there. Not to cherry pick stats but ASM have 45 tries in 18 games this season, averaging around 2.5 tries per game. Under Schmidt as far as I recall they averaged around 3 tries per game. That's not a massive drop off given Schmidt is widely hailed as the best backs coach plying his trade in Europe. I'd suggest Azéma and King are doing something right. That's purely subjective though. It's an excellent appointment for Northampton. [/QUOTE]
