He'll do just fine. For me he's the best second row forward England have. Westwood has had his best years & Ferres doesn't have the same work ethic or ability. JJB falls into the same category as Westwood & Ablett the same as Ferres.
To misquote Mark Twain - “It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.”
Bateman and Farrell both do just fine for me. The effort that these two put in every time they cross the line is awesome - Who cares if they are 5'11" or 6'??
"Farrell is too small for internationals" is one of those buzz statements that people churn out without much to substantiate it. He was the only forward to play the full 80 on Sunday, he got through a ton of work both defensively and in attack and didn't look out of place. I think the combination of Farrell and Whitehead with Ferres coming off the bench is a pretty good balance in the SR.
My views were based on his performances in the 4N last year, when he lost the ball in contact a few times and simply didn't look comfortable in the collision. I still have my doubts but his workrate in defence can't be faulted.
