[QUOTE="profitius, post: 924249, member: 41524"] I watched it back again on YouTube to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. I think there's a bit of reverse snobbery here from a few posters. Carbery was typical Carbery and ran the game smoothly. There might have only been 3 points in it at that stage but the USA had a lot of possession and yet Ireland were making line breaks and scored 2 tries. Carbery converting both, one from the sideline. Heaslip mentioned after about 32 minutes that the USA were looking tired. Byrne didn't do much wrong and put in a peach of a kick for the try. So I'm not knocking Byrne but I think Carbery gets judged harshly and some people think he's not a 10 because he has too much flare. He was superb against Exeter in windy conditions. He actually controlled the game better than Gareth Steenson who is an excellent 'bread and butter' 10. [/QUOTE]
