The Stuart/ERFU Selection Predicament. [RWC]

[TobesHodges]

Would like to know the People's thoughts on Some England Rugby Topics:-



1). Sam Burgess - Is he good Enough for England?

2). Steffon Armitage - Should the RFU allow him to play at the RWC?

3). George Ford or Owen Farrell - I Like Both, But Lets throw into the Mix that George Hasn't Played many Southern Hemisphere Teams,
Owen Farrell has been an AB winner,
with that said I am still 60% Ford for 10 Shirt. Thoughts?

4). Chris Ashton back into England Squad?

5). Dylan Hartley or Tom Youngs?


Opinions?!

1. Not yet.
2. What's the ERFU? And assuming you mean the RFU, no, they shouldn't.
3. We're ignoring his victories against Samoa and Australia then? Can we also add that Farrell has been a multiple AB loser? In answer to the question, Ford.
4. No. He can't beat a defender to save his life. Nowell beat more defenders on his England debut than Ashton had between in an England shirt in the previous 12 months.
5. Youngs for me, lineout may wobble, but Dylan has no bite in his game, and only brings it illegally. Youngs gives us another carrying option, is a brilliant rucker (unlike Hartley) and a workhorse at tackling (here Dylan equals him).

1. Might be at 6, not yet though
2. Definitely not
3. Ford
4. No
5. Youngs

 

[TRF_Olyy]

No*, no, Ford, no, Youngs

*Will be by the Six Nations if he keeps improving like this

 

[jaffka]

No
Yes
Ford
No
Youngs

 

[chippieolamus]

1) At 6, not yet but may be soon
2) No, not worth risk of ruining AP
3) Ford
4) Nah, would far rather have seen Roko there
5) Youngs - seems to have workout how to throw properly (Leicester have highest lineout % in AP iirc) and is superior in all other aspects to Hartley

 

[Anigram]

1. yes, but not yet needs more time to learn the game
2. NO
3. Ford 100%
4. good for competition, not a bad thing by any means
5. Both are great options I'd choose Hartley for the lineout advantage
