[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 695466, member: 12190"] I'm of the opinion this is largely a scrum half issue. None of our scrum halves appear to be able to sensibly marshall the pack, choose the right side to pass etc.. There's also a skills issue which seems to prevent our 9's from varying the length of passses and therefore protecting the ball carrier for as long as possible because the opposition don't know for sure who is going to be trucking it up. There's also therefore an issue when you have only one obvious carrier. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWhLJ0hqYB4[/url] I just watched this and got quite excited about Burrell - I think most of us here underrate him, especially as an option at 13. In fact I would be happy to see a combination of 12. Tuilagi 13. Burrell switching positions left and right. [/QUOTE]
