"Because there's been a few forced changes, in a few positions," McFadden says, "Farrell might try get a bit of consistency because the level of performances have probably not been where he would have wanted them to get to.
"But I would like to see him try a few guys out and give them opportunities. If you've got the likes of a Craig Casey in there, if you're going to put him in an extended Six Nations squad, why not say this is the time to use him.
"If you have him on the bench, use him. But I think give him a start. Maybe with Johnny, and Johnny can lead him through the week with them as the half-back pairing. That would be nice to see."
