[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 940697, member: 56232"] Just watched the whole Exeter - Tigers game. Firstly Ford looked very good in an otherwise poor Tigers performance. People talk about a 10 playing when on the back foot, I think that was a prime example. In particular it was good to see his running game again, I had forgotten just how fast and nimble he can be when given some space. Secondly for Youngs, I think that was a red and actually I think that sort of incident needs to be punished more than high tackles on standing players. A standing player can be knocked back by a high tackle, a player on the floor being hit at speed has nowhere to go and will take the full brunt of it. Most injuries are from players having limbs bent in awkward positions while being tackled or on the ground and if rugby wants to really improve the safety they have to clamp down on people flying into rucks with no control at all. It's already illegal, just not enforced. Slade is really looking like he is developing into the player we all hoped he would be. If he continues this form for England, I can't see JJ getting back in unless he hits the form he had back when he first got into the side and more. [/QUOTE]
