[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 1121563, member: 39240"] On this I see will start at top. Fully agree pack sid well but lacked balance a bit. On Ross Byrne, and this is having rewatched, he did fine. He shovelled alot of **** and also was very static but did fine. Alot of corners saying he was poor etc well it has to be remembered he had a poor platform to work with in that Casey was mixed too and 2 centres outside were 2 12s. Considering that too I'd agree he delivered what you'd expect from a back up 10. He is not good enough to be #1 10 for Ireland like media were painting him but fully deserved role he has now. Goal kicking was mixedtoday but kicking lines was world class. On Coombes. I think today showed he is ahead of Conan.i think Conan may be a tad faster but that is only area that Conan is superior now. Not saying Conan a poor player just there is 2 guys better at 8. When POM came on and Doris went 8 today everything improved massively there. Also Frisch has proven massively this season he is a talent at 13. The likes of him should be there going forward ahead of Aki. 13 is a specialist position. Ringrose is there, Henshaw can do job there marginally but after that we need 13 that plays 13 consistently. For Scotland. Furlong returns now Bealham a doubt POM in and while Conan will stay I'd really consider Coombes and Baird did very well today. Murray I'd start wirh JGP off bench based on match fitness. Sexton back. Aki at 12 I agree and if Ringrose out I stated the above on 13. [/QUOTE]
