[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 921589, member: 45598"] I don't think we need Murray quite as much as a lot of people think, I've seen it suggested plenty of times that he's more important than Sexton and I really don't agree. It's not that Murray is any better or worse than Johnny it's more that Johnny is very dictatorial on the pitch and any 9 with adequate skills will look better with him, Murray doesn't have quite the same effect on his 10s. I think without Sexton we can't beat NZ whereas we'd have to lose at least two of Murray, Kearney and Ringrose to make it an impossibility of Sexton was playing. If our 9 can box kick reasonably well we'll be able to adjust and Murray won't be a huge loss although not so much if Ringrose is gone too. As for Aki, he is a good international but he'll be the worst centre on the pitch come Saturday, Ringrose will be the best though! [/QUOTE]
