[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 623888, member: 39240"] And abandon their primary issues. As I say Schmidt obviously says Zebo has to work on things which is fair enough. Name 1 winger Schmidt has played that has been off cuff by what I mean like a Zebo who at times can be a liability. Schmidt doesn't mind players who play off cuff but not at expense of basic role being jeopardized. At Munster it's a different role. And I'm not saying Zebo should be in squad but people say about his passing yet against Zebre last Saturday he was 4th on most passes for Munster and week before against Cardiff he was 3rd. And that was with 0 interceptions and 150+ metres made 8 defenders beaten so can I ask how is he not passing? I think people have taken my comment about Schmidt up wrong and as I say it's not a critic of him more it's just stating his system. @Cmac as far as I know wingers are also judged on strike rate. Kearney is not a poor player but not international class. Tony Buckley played 2 amazing tests against a better All Blacks team and was in great form at that time. Would you consider him a top player or international class? Kearneys caps have been against a 2nd string Samoa, an All Black team that are good but not as strong as recent times, a Scotland team that are worst they've been in years and a Wales team that haven't been playing well. He's never scored a try in pro rugby against any of big teams in league only an under strength Ospreys. ( he's scored only against Dragons, Connacht, Glasgow, Ospreys, Cardiff Italian teams and Scarlets in his entire career as well as 2nd string Samoa) so for me I still don't have him as international class. Also he only averages as scoring in 2 games a year [/QUOTE]
