[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 1008878, member: 76349"] Agree with all of this. Ed Byrne is a stopgap to be honest but there aren't really any better options and he's done an incredible amount of work to get there. Bealham is doing well and Porter is in good from. Worth saying Kelleher made 13 tackles and was a noticeable step up around the park. Interested to see if we persist with him next week. Risk lineout wise with POM probably not starting. Thought Josh was pretty poor. Doris is a peach of a player. Prefer him at 8. CJ at 6 for next week. Billy looked decent but I'd much prefer Ross Byrne for next week, has a track record of winning big games as opposed to Burns who loses them. At centre I thought Farrell was decent, prefer him to Henshaw at 13. Conway will do well to keep his place for next week. I'm more optimistic than some here about the direction of the team, I think we've improved even if we're not good enough to beat England. Once baby Byrne, Healy, Casey, Baird and Baloucoune make the step up we'll be in a good place. Jury is out on Farrell but I'm willing to wait until at least the end of the next 6N to judge, even if England hammer us next week. Catt is doing a good job based off the evidence so far. Also glad we started to kick penalties instead of going for lineouts. We don't execute well enough right now and well kicking penalties is the way to win games of rugby. [/QUOTE]
