[QUOTE="Hanley!, post: 929242, member: 77015"] I'm very mixed on the idea of Henshaw starting at full back. On one hand, it's nice to see Schmidt trying new things and experimenting, particularly in the Six Nations before a world cup. And doing so in a game against Italy or in a warm-up game only tells you so much. On the other hand though, given the depth Ireland have in the back three at the moment, why shoehorn a 12 in as full back when there are at least three really promising stand-ins for Kearney who could use minutes there instead? I really doubt that Henshaw is going to excel at 15 to the point where that becomes his main position, and if Kearney was to go down before a massive world cup game, I doubt Henshaw will be moving position to cover for him. And regardless, I don't think he should. [/QUOTE]
