[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 987233, member: 73144"] True, although the scrum half who treads on the right side of gobby hasn't been born yet. OP, this is an extract from a Times article talking about Youngs being dropped that might help...... Yet if the England No 9 has become a helpless component rather than an on-field manager within the team, the fly half should be criticised for not getting a grip on his half-back partner. Fly halves are the men with the supposed vision. Waiting for the ball until the forwards have been driven backwards is not the vision of classic tens. George Ford played quite beautifully between his own tryline and the France 22 in the second half. It was largely his piercing kicking that enabled England to lay their siege. The forwards didn’t lift their heads, the scrum half simply stood back and waited while the fly half scurried here and there, growing ever more frustrated. Ford should have planted a boot up his scrum half’s backside, starter and replacement, to demand quicker ball, to work usable possession into the England midfield. [/QUOTE]
