[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 907034, member: 56232"] Ford concedes metres in the tackle, compare that to how many metres we concede with each stupid penalty. How many penalties does Ford give away? Ford could be targeted 10 times in a game and would still concede fewer metres than one braindead penalty. The reason we are falling backwards isn't because Ford concedes ground, it's because ALL our forwards concede ground as they just stand on the gainline and then don't even properly square up to someone running at them or double up to stop them dead. Our defence literally consists of having our forwards merely being in the way on the gain line. For at least has the excuse of being small, what excuse do 100kg + forwards have? If our forwards properly competed at the breakdown in both attack and defence and our defence actually worked actively rather than passively, that would do far more for England's defence than having a Wilko like tackler at 10.
