[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 909254, member: 56232"] Sexton, Biggar and Barrett are rarely behind packs that are being bullied and when they have been, they've lost. Farrell has NEVER taken a game by the scruff of the neck for England and has been behind 3 of our most embarrassing defeats (Wales 2013, Wales + Aus world cup). He does it for Sarries? Oh yeah, behind a dominant pack. When did Ford's form drop for Bath? When our pack started getting bullied. See a trend yet? Can you point to a 10 who has actually put in good performances behind weak packs rather than choosing 10's who have operated behind a solid set of forwards? This isn't about saying Ford can't be criticised, it's about saying it's unfair to criticise him for failures in the forwards. All the 10's you listed above would struggle behind our pack. [/QUOTE]
