Title: England’s Scrum Half Dilemma
Post by: AKWasp on April 08, 2019, 12:54:38 PM: Think it’s slipped under the radar somewhat, but Ben Youngs is out for the rest of the season with a shoulder injury that’s had surgery.

I’ve heard he should make the World Cup but you never know.

With Dan out injured too and also no known return date, does Eddie’s scrum half system backfire?

With the 6 nations being (somewhat) successful due to Youngs’ kicking game, would his unavailability result in a new game plan being needed?

Maybe his brother torpedoed into him back at the family farm or something?
