[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 805726, member: 72520"] I didn't mention Eastmond as I was relating the situation to his England form mostly. Obviously Eastmond's dip in form has stunted JJ at Bath. You raise a good point about JJ needing a 12 that draws defenders, I hadn't thought about that. Faz needs no more than 1 defender, defences would be more wary of a Te'o, a Tuilagi or maybe even a Mallinder. Although I wouldn't suggest Daly take JJ's place, I do think Daly is able to create more in attack. JJ feeds off of his 10 & 12, Daly can create opportunities by himself. For now I think the midfield should remain Ford-Farrell-JJ, but after 2017 maybe we should be looking at Ford-Mallinder-JJ. That way, we have a real attacking threat at 12, that is still able to take over kicking duties if Ford's having 1 of his bad days. [/QUOTE]
