[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 924387, member: 39240"] As you've pointed out it is a case of styles. If you want a starter close to Sexton then Byrne is closer. But as you say Joey offers alot more and difference in style. Byrne and Joey are probably on par as 10s. Carbery is the much better bench option as he plays in a more exciting style which is perfect if we need to be chasing a game. And he is versatile. Both are well capable of being top 10s. And unlike last World Cup I feel we do hace depth more than capable of filling in for Sexton if he were to get injured. Yes it'd weaken us but like any worldclass player that would weaken team regardless. Key bit now thpugh is both are playing regularly regularly as 10s. Joey has came on so much as a 10 I feel since moving to us as he has the confidence and all of being a starter. Ross is the better 10 for tactical kicking and basics that I feel is vital hence why I'd start Byrne if Sexton were out [/QUOTE]
