The comments re Dickson and Youngs are interesting, if you look back at the past 20 years and when Englnad have been at their best they have had a two or three good scrum halfs vying for the position and oushing each other to improve their game. So if nothing else these two can push each other forward then it can be no bad thing?
On the 9 issue if care sorts his life out he is the best option! but ENG have options which is great. Interesting ireland has talent but doesn’t pick it! murray is slow and big not a scrum half to play our style we arn’t massive we need to play at tempo! reddan is our best choice still, with marshal as the back up then murray. promising 9 in under 20′s front row hagan is scrummaging well at leinster possibly better than ross! hes 24 same age as healy definately needs faith put in him! dan touhy i have said it before is our best lock option along with paul o’connel as with ryan POC has to go tight head which weakens are scrum Touhy is a strong abrasive lock who would be the opposite of POC which I think you need. my final point is darcy and trimble did nothing all tournament bod is back this week want an irish back line of Reddan Sexton Earls BOD Bowe Fitz Kearny with Marshal, Keatley and Dave Kearny on the bench, gives tonnes of replacement options in the backs.
Ireland’s’ problem is not with backs. We have more than enough quality backs. It’s forwards.
Whilst I agree with Kidney’s comments on number of foreign props playing for provinces, do you think Kidney has:
- Picked the best team from players avaiable?
- Got the best out of the players picked?
