Farrell's 'World Cup' selection | Stockdale's last chance | Prendergast's next step

I think the players he has are the players he has.

I think Finn Smith's an improvement in the sense that

Indo Sport
Farrell's 'World Cup' selection | Stockdale's last chance | Prendergast's next step

I think he brings a little more to the table than George Ford but the question is will he want Finn Smith to do something different than George Ford or will he go back to this is my game I'm just going to move the pieces around here I'm going to get back to do what we do or is he going to pivot away and say this game isn't working I need to find a new way of doing it which to me would be

Indo Sport
Farrell's 'World Cup' selection | Stockdale's last chance | Prendergast's next step

pretty catastrophic for him because I don't know if he ever had a plan B even in the back of his mind to be fair to him so I think he's in a very tight spot he's I think all he wants at the moment is to win in Italy

Indo Sport
Farrell's 'World Cup' selection | Stockdale's last chance | Prendergast's next step

If you're in his shoes, the team must, their confidence must be absolutely thrashed.

Indo Sport
Farrell's 'World Cup' selection | Stockdale's last chance | Prendergast's next step

You're going away from home, all right, you're not playing the All Blacks, you're not playing France, but you're going to Rome, which is a difficult enough spot, times to get out of.

Farrell's 'World Cup' selection | Stockdale's last chance | Prendergast's next step

We found it very difficult there last year at the end of the championship.

Indo Sport
Farrell's 'World Cup' selection | Stockdale's last chance | Prendergast's next step

So I think he wants a win.

Indo Sport
Farrell's 'World Cup' selection | Stockdale's last chance | Prendergast's next step

I think he's got to circle the wagons after Six Nations and figure out, is this working at all?

Indo Sport
Farrell's 'World Cup' selection | Stockdale's last chance | Prendergast's next step

But I think he's in a huge quandary vis-Γ -vis how he wants to progress this team.

Indo Sport
Farrell's 'World Cup' selection | Stockdale's last chance | Prendergast's next step

But he needs a result at the moment.

Indo Sport
Farrell's 'World Cup' selection | Stockdale's last chance | Prendergast's next step

So I don't think it's Anton Moorman getting a result.

Indo Sport

And freshening up the team scares guys a bit.

Indo Sport
Farrell's 'World Cup' selection | Stockdale's last chance | Prendergast's next step

Maybe they respond.

Indo Sport
Farrell's 'World Cup' selection | Stockdale's last chance | Prendergast's next step

I think that's his response, I think.

Indo Sport
Farrell's 'World Cup' selection | Stockdale's last chance | Prendergast's next step

I don't think they can play like Northampton, Joe, to be honest.

Indo Sport
Farrell's 'World Cup' selection | Stockdale's last chance | Prendergast's next step

And Keane's point there, will he play Bortwick Ball or Northampton?

Indo Sport
Farrell's 'World Cup' selection | Stockdale's last chance | Prendergast's next step

Northampton are probably one of the best attacking teams in the Premiership.

Indo Sport
Farrell's 'World Cup' selection | Stockdale's last chance | Prendergast's next step

Wonderful to watch.

Indo Sport
Farrell's 'World Cup' selection | Stockdale's last chance | Prendergast's next step

Sam Vestey's done a phenomenal job there.
