And just for measure ford has a 92% tackle success rate, neither Farrell, burns nor cipriani have rates above 80%

Fords kicking out of hand is world class and his ability to read the game and make decisions under pressure is truly second to none, hence why both bath and England experience so much success on the Gameline, ford may not be as consistent from the tee as Farrell but his attacking abilities a far beyond that of any of England's 10 or other 10's in the world bar perhaps Barrett and foley

Bath have some of the most attacking players in the world let alone the league and score far more tries than the majority of the league

So much of what you have said is complete bollocks, ford has had 75%+ success rates from the tee for the last 3 seasons running and has only got more consistent with time

manu tuilagi*

anyway its a matter of personal opinion when it comes to george ford ....i think he is a liabilty defensively and kicking from the tee...he is overrated and if msnu was healthy he shouldn't start for England

bath also don't score a lot of tries like wasps and exeter so kicking for them is especially important part of their game....they cant win without it

firstly ford has had kicking issues most of his career so its not something he has picked up recently ...am not being judgemental but a professional should not be that bad in one aspect of the game much less one so important

Granted his kicking from tee has been subpar recently, however to completely discredit his game because of 1 aspect to his ability is completely judgemental and ignorant

as much as you defend ford he is missing pretty easy shots at goal..i dont expect him to be morne styen but their some kicks every kicker should make
