[QUOTE="Duck a l'Orange, post: 829029, member: 72315"] Eh? Farrell's been perpetual first choice for the last five years, has been consistently the best option and has delivered every time. The fact he's now shoehorned into 12 has nothing to do with the fact he's not quality, he'd be 10 if Ford could play 12 and he couldn't. He's never achieved much internationally at 10, but at 12 he's won a Grand Slam, whitewashed of Australia and gone a year unbeaten. Oh and he's scored 500 points for England. The difference between Ford and Farrell at fly half you talk about is Jones. Sure there was some improvement in the 2015 6Ns with Ford at fly half, but you could also attribute that to Joseph or Watson, or just not Twelvetrees and Burrell. And they still came second, losing to Ireland. [/QUOTE]
