[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 755842, member: 72205"] If you read most talk is generally about the lack of a genuine open side rather than singalling out Arimtage himself, Kvesic is an option that was never looked at. Included in my assessment is every pundit who says the problem lie elsewhere and it's a multitude of thing. [url]http://www.skysports.com/rugby-union/news/12337/10017526/would-steffon-armitage-have-made-a-difference[/url] I suggest you read [USER=42330]@TRF_Peat[/USER] blog as well on this very subject and you'll find it's alot more nuanced than "I got 1 one my 99 predictions before the tournament right". Anyone with half a brain would say Armitage would not of made a difference. And attribute this situation to a multitude of areas and reasons that can't be solely down to one mistake. I was cataloguing mistakes made since the 6 nations in my head earlier when it comes to selection and there are several points where failures happened where a clutch of players were discraded that could of made some kind of difference. Armitage isn't some rugby god called upon Earth to stop us mere mortals, he's not a Pocock or McCaw, he's just one player out of 15 on the pitch where quite a few let us down. You say you took abuse over Cips yet I'm struggling to think of how many people disagreed with you over that as it was generally considered a decision that could of been made (quite a few other than yourself calling for it Olyy hasn't shut up about it) but wasn't for a few reasons. You've spoken a lot of nonsense and have been rubbing salt in English wounds for nearly 3 days now while trying to play the hapless victim card which nobody is buying trying to get a rise out anyone who will bite (the very definition of a troll, yes you are one deal with it).
