Hornby v the Ox

Orford had plenty of opportunity to show the selectors what he was capable of and went missing when it counted IMO. It's all very well to say that he would play better behind a bigger/stronger pack, but the mark of a great player is that he will still shine when the chips are down. Orford had his chances and quite frankly was disappointing in a couple of big games this year when he needed to take it by the scruff of the neck.

No problems with Hornby getting the nod ahead of him, he simply played better and deserves his chance.
What Duff said and I agree with the quote above. Sterlo did the miracle stuff behind non-performers and unfortunately on the few occassions Ox has had a chance to shine he went missing.
