Might be an element that Farrel is pivotall & Ford is a confidence player so dropping Farrell means Fords awful goal kicking is exposed & dropping Ford means he gets all mopey & his form drops.
I'd guess after 55 minutes Slade will be in the centres anyway with Ford subbed. I'd almost forgotten Slade was a class unit.
@gollum Yes Farrell is currently un-droppable, Ford though has a degree more vision and his decision making (when on song) is superior, but let him miss a few kicks at goal and invariably his all round game suffers. Oddly enough that wasn't the case on the pre-summer tour game against Wales where he missed 6/7 but we scored five tries.
You may be right in that we could eventually see a Farrell, Teo, Slade combo at 10/12/13 and that has a good look to it. Slade is a class unit but not currently in the best of form. Lack of game time cannot have helped though.

Yep, 9-13... and I'd rather be watching SuperRugby.
The speed in the Super Rugby games is quite obvious when you watch these games on the same day. However I'd love to see a Super game with the crowd noise going on here. It's pretty impressive.

Not sure if Scotland have fucked that up? Going to the TMO
Try!
Should have been a PT anyway for the high shot

Yeah, not even a warning for that high shot. Odd.

Great result for Scotland. The NH sides often have their 10s deeper and narrower than the nz super rugby sides which I find annoying but they created some nice tries.

Visser beats North clean twice in the same passage and scores to give Scotland a 13 point lead.
Pretty poor.

North was pants. Is he really a Lions tour contender?

He's not properly fit and yet is being flogged by Wales.

Is he carrying an injury? I know he had time off from concussion but he was fit before then and was cleared a couple of weeks ago.
I agree that I have seen him sharper but still, you are only as good as your last game and on that performance he should slip down the Lions list. -

Ho had a thigh problem but scored a good try although it looked like he limped it in. They kept him on for the rest of the game too. Neither Wales nor Northampton have good previous on his concussion issues either, keeping him on the filed when it was pretty obvious it was the last place he should be.
