[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 1028017, member: 76349"] Yeah, definitely a need for some fresh blood in the coaching staff. O'Connell despite seeming a bit underqualified has done a brilliant job, I don't think we're going to turn into the All Blacks in the next 2 years but we've got to find a way to score tries beyond trying to kick penalties to the corner and then either kick wide on advantage or bash it over from 1 yard out (which we're not even that good at). Otherwise teams will just happily give us the ball and watch let us run out of steam. Still got hope Farrell can get things going but he's got to trust youth this summer, the 2017 summer tour was actually a pretty huge step forward for us with Schmidt, it let us turn a declining team into a serious outfit for the next 18 months (although ideally this time we'd still be good by the time the world cup rolled around). We've definitely got the players available to do something similar this summer, but if Farrell doesn't take the chance to call up Coombes, Baloucoune, Hume, Eric O'Sullivan etc and properly back Casey, Baird and so on he'll have lost most people.
