[QUOTE="HamJan, post: 1070598, member: 85428"] I'm not saying that Smith can't handle the pressure, he seems level headed and intelligent, but Eddie is in regular contact with him and I'm sure he's more aware of how media pressure affects him than we are. What I am saying is that Eddie's deflecting much of the unnecessary pressure on him to allow him to concentrate more on himself over the next few weeks. That can't be a bad thing. I don't know if you heard Eddie's interview with Matt Dawson on Tuesday, where he said that Farrell's the captain 'for now', whereas he's previously stated that he'll take us to the RWC. There might be something in that or it might be another one of Eddie's tactics. [/QUOTE]
