I’m sure you know that he hasn’t played due to injury. We’ll see how the reps get split once Nsekhe comes back. It’s not as if Ford is being left on an island to pass block. He’s been getting quite a lot of help on his side.
People (ie. me) are saying that if Spain doesn’t come back then Ford makes sense as a potential replacement. Why? Because he has that kind of versatility and his struggles with handling speed on the edge may mean he could be best suited inside.
If that is indeed the case then I’m sure BB and McD would try to add someone at RT and not have to rely solely on an aging Nsekhe.
