[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 137134"] I think we'll have to admit that we don't have any decent scrum halfs out of Ellis, Perry, Richards or Gomersall. After watching Perry closely in the last two matches, I've noticed that while he has at least an eye for the gap, he hasn't the pace to do anything about it. Also, he seems to have slowed down a fair bit and he only barely beats Ellis at the time it takes to dig the ball out. And I'm talking 25 seconds against 30. Richards isn't any better, his pass is flawed and he just doesn't seem as sharp or sly as someone we need. Gomersall is just plain past it, he is good enough to keep in touch with today's standard of scrum half but is just plain mediocre. In all, not one of England's officially selected four scrum half candidates pass muster today in my opinion. I think it is time to cast the net wider and start the search for a new youngster.
