[QUOTE="Lukascd, post: 246926"] Roberts does his job at number 12 well, he carries the ball forward and builds up a platform, I only actually saw Roberts pushed backwards once (maybe twice) in the entire match (england), and I don't think he got turned over, he may have not made the gainline as much as in the Scotland game but he is still a powerful guy. Roberts and Powell just need to work on their offloading skills, that's why Henson is Gatland's favorite, he draws in tacklers and then offloads. If Joe Worsley had faced a Henson 12 and Roberts 13 then the match would have followed a different path. If Powell doesn't start showing some improvisation skills his lions place may well be taken by Heaslip (God, Thor or Lugh (Irish God) in my opinion) [/QUOTE]
