More than one set - hook him off at HT.
It's not just his kicking, he's having a bad day all round; but does look to me as if his head's been rattled - and with good justification.
I'd also replace Billy at HT - he's too important going forwards; and with that red card; we don't NEED him out there.

Gotta say, that's easily the best 40 mins I've seen from Daly at 15. One mistimed pass aside it's been good stuff, there was even a try saving tackle in there. May is officially awesome. Fair play to Arg, they're making a game of it still, even if it is with Farrell's help.

They’ve been given “last last warning” for over a year. Maybe enforcing it at the World Cup is the only way the message will get through. Agree it is having a major effect on some matches but so it should. Tackle properly and you have no problems
If you consistently and mercilessly card anyone who breaks the rules it will stop very, very, very quickly. A RWC was NOT the place to do it.

That’s what you concluded from our play? You don’t think there’s any connection with what is happening inside?
I agree Ford has had limited ball with which to impose himself but that should mean he treats what he does get as vital, not kick it away aimlessly or drop it. I would prefer him to stay on when Slade comes on but he is giving Jones an excuse to move Farrell to 10. I hate the thought of that.

Faz has had the ball in hand more than Ford, which says something. Now you could argue Ford needs to step in and take charge, but this twin fly half thing is confusing then today.
