Don’t agree with your analysis of Ford but if now isn’t the time for Cips then it never will be.
You’re probably right, just feel he’s being a bit of a fanny.
Ideally a flyhalf shouldn’t take contact unless it’s to create a gap/hole. You can’t dictate play from the bottom of a ruck.

Hughes can fuck right off ... offered nothing positive and now has cost us any chance of a comeback

I’m aware of that and didn’t say he should, but he was shipping shit like a fanny - it’s not the same thing. Anyway, least of England’s problems today.

Faz has been anonymous 2nd. half.
His skipability is still in question.

What a dick. Our lack of composure and discipline in microcosm. Hopeless.

I give up. Told you we wouldn't trouble the scoreboard again.
Fucking useless.
The knives are well and truly being sharpened and quite rightly so. There has been no step up, or change or ownership of problems.
What a load of bollocks.

So explain to me why you believe he’s ‘shipping ball anywhere and anyhow just to avoid contact’.
Yep, the least of our problems.

For first phase. Cips after that when there is more space.

So, now it is 5 defeats in 6, perhaps we can all agree that the 6N WAS a disaster.

Because he is/was. Nothing wrong with taking crap ball in and resetting rather than making things worse. Whatevs, Cips in a different class already.
