[QUOTE="Peat, post: 750975, member: 42330"] Yeah, but how often do Ireland create space for the outside backs? When he makes a half-break and is looking for an offload, who's there? If you're not going to create space for the centres and you're not going to play off of them, is it a surprise when they just bash it up? I fully agree that Payne's been a big disappointment at centre (I don't want the IRFU to renew his contract at Ulster), but it's not entirely his or any other centre's fault. They're playing in a pretty conservative team with not a lot of go-forwards in the pack, that's my take. They're part of the problem not the whole problem. I think if I was Schmidt I'd be crossing my fingers for McCloskey to produce the goods by 6N time. A team with all three forward power carriers fit and McCloskey would have very little excuses for not getting some good ball. [/QUOTE]
