[QUOTE="Jakedood, post: 1020843, member: 72409"] m Last year, maybe start of 19/20 season I'd have fully agreed with you, he used to frustrate me watching ulster games because he sat so deep, and just shipped on ball without fixing defence, or it was his kicking game, however in last season and a half, he's really developed as a player who can take it to the line. I understand re Byrne being a better goal kicker,he is, however my biggest isue is Byrne sits so deep and it kills the backline. When we got to the end of the game on Sunday, clock was red, he just sat deep and shovelled the ball on, Burns adds a lot more variety while maybe lacking a little bit of the class of a genuine high quality international 10. But he has more tools than Byrne, and that's why I'd prefer him. If you think of a back 3 of Keenan, stockdale and larmour for instance, you could have three players who've played full back who are all good in the air, so I dont disagree with the high balls put up.
