Quote: jonh "My initial comment was in regard to who replaces Field now.
If we pair Farrimond as he is at this moment in time with Smith and run with French at 1 I think we will have issues and lose strike.
My point was I don’t think they work now or rather we have more effective ways of solving the issue.
For me Smith and French need to play 7 & 6.
We need to test other options over moving French to 1 before pairing Smith and Farrimond at the current time.'"
I agree for the most part but I do think you're underestimating Farrimond's running game. Obviously I've only limited experience of him myself but he seems to be a pretty rounded player from what I have seen. I guess we'll see going forward.
