                    <p>To be fair to England and Andy Goode, the All Blacks were picking our own Tub of Lard Piri Weepu at half back until a couple of years ago.</p>

                          Actually, I'm a long-standing fan of Andy Goode, so much more useful to English rugby than our similarly initialled reserve fullback/centre and god-help-us-if-it-comes-to-it wing. <br><br>
                          On the subject of former Wasps flyhalves, I see that The Prodigal is returning from Sale next season. Good for Wasps, good for England (if Eddie has the stones to pick him), but I imagine Steve Diamond must be a bit pissed off. Mind you, he's had good service out of Danny.

                            I wouldn't know. A mate told me that his mate's mate might use one of these. Honest.

                              Watching the Aviva highlights from last weekend, he was very good against Leicester the other night, mixing up his options nicely until he cramped up after 60 mins. During the preamble to the show it was claimed that Goode has played for 50% of Premiership clubs, and 32 clubs in total!

                                However, you are right, I'm not in any mad rush to see Schmidt take the reins of the NZ team, I'm rather underwhelmed by him as selector, even if as a coach he is more impressive.  I'm also not sure his personality/style fits with NZ rugby, whereas he is perfect for the Irish setup.  He is treated rather reverently by the Irish media, which just wouldn't happen in NZ.</p></blockquote>

                                He doesn't allow offloading, picks players out of position, picks out of form players, wingers have to be good at rucking and is extremely slow to play inexperienced players. <br><br><br>
                                All said and done, he is the most bizarre team selector I have ever seen. He is excellent at putting out well drilled teams but when it comes to selecting players he loses the plot. <br><br><br>
                                The attritional style of play is also causing a big injury toll.

                                      I see now that Eddy is falling into the same trap that Johnson and Lancaster fell into with an early prediction that Tuilagi will be fit to face Wales. Apart from quite possibly being over-hopeful bollocks what does this say to the others in the squad apart from "you're only keeping Manu's bed warm for him"? Unless of course Eddy is a genius people person and feels that Joseph needs some grounding after scoring a hat trick?

                                        <p>Hopefully it means he plays 12 with JJ at 13, and then they pick one flyhalf and stick with him rather than shoehorning two in.</p>

                                          Hmm, with no speed merchant on the open side flank, Ford not being the best defender and then add Manu's propensity for rushing up out of the defensive line...<br><br>I would be nervous with that combo TeWaio.
