Danny Care is out for 6 weeks with a toe injury.
Downside is we have lost an experienced HB.
Upside is we won't have the 'step, step, pass' from the base of the ruck slowing down the 1st receiver.
Wigglesworth in as cover for Youngs?

feel sorry for the guy, but jeez, an international scrum half who cant let go of the ball without taking 3 steps sideways ? youve got to be joking.

Agree with the above, as electric as he is with ball in hand he doesn't half slow the game down. What concerns me is that nobody seems to have picked him up on it as it doesn't seem to be improving his ability to fire the ball from the floor to 10.
Is Simpson injured though, he is faster than Care but can also pass it from the base of a ruck?
