[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 806892, member: 72520"] Sorry, I should've made my idea clearer. I see Underhill replacing Robshaw, moving Haskell to 6, and then Ewers replacing Hask there. Not Ewers at 7. That would be ridiculous. I think you're missing my point by bringing in this North analogy, I don't want Ford or Hask to be replaced yet. It was right for Jones to persevere with them and for Gatland with North. I'm saying that I think we should stay with Ford-Faz as they compliment each other, but if we were to get a real 12, I'd rather see Faz at 10 than Ford. And I'd like to see Ewers replace Hask post 2017. But, say I was suggesting we should drop Ford and Hask in terms of your North analogy (Which isn't my opinion,but I'll just entertain the notion because I've got nothing better to do), then I would say that whereas North had been mediocre for Saints, Ford had been poor for Bath. That's a significant difference. Even though North wasn't in his form of old, he was still Wales' best winger, so he had to be persisted with. There were options to replace Ford and Hask so them being dropped was a more considerable option. I would also argue that all 3 pick up their form when in an international shirt, so there's nothing to suggest that if Ewers was given his chance internationally then he wouldn't raise his form too, potentially higher than Hask's. Again, that isn't my opinion, but I think it would be a valid argument. [/QUOTE]
