Getting "sat down" is only bad if it is your own fault, I don't recall Ford being at fault but I will try to watch the game again in the next couple of days if I get the time and come back to you - I promise that I'll report back what I see as objectively as I can.
I haven't seen leadership and dynamism from Rambo for a while, I'd have Cochrane as my back up to Ford right now.
It's time to pull the plug on the Rambo hooker experiment. He is too tall to hook the ball and it's still his play in the loose that's his strong point. It will never be about set pieces for him. We wouldn't lose anything by giving George Turner and Cochrane some game time.
Ford has 100 international caps and he doesn't hook the ball at all; if we're saying Rambo doesn't hook so he can't play hooker then by the same logic neither can Ford.
