[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 803432, member: 72520"] I know that last game the big backs didn't target Ford much, but this was because: 1. Ford wasn't expected to start, so they wouldn't have based a game plan around him. 2. Kerevi was never at 12 when Ford was on the pitch, he'd moved to wing with Lilly in at 12. Now that Ford is starting, and Kerevi's back at 12, I think it would to be foolish to assume that a 108kg 12 isn't going to somewhat target an 80kg 10. As for not having carriers in our pack, that will come. For now Jones is opting for reliability with the likes of Cole, Robshaw, Haskell etc. but I wouldn't expect them to be starting past 2017. After that I would expect a more mobile, faster, more powerful pack, starting players like Hill, Clifford, Harrison, Ewers? [/QUOTE]
