[QUOTE="corny, post: 1117927, member: 72368"] McCloskey was really slow off the line too for me. I was listening to the RTE play back and they gave huge credit to Ross Byrne for the patterns of play that emerged when he came on, i.e the loop plays and deception in attack. Now i've always liked Ross Byrne but they were completely missing Aki's influence in that (he came on at roughly the same time IIRR). Aki tackles hard, runs hard and can win turnovers but his ability to play the pivot in attack is his most valuable asset for me. He's perfect for Sexton and we end up dragging teams all over the place when both of them are humming. I reckon we'll see a full team next week. I bet JGP and Furlong are fine but just weren't risked. Aki to come in too. Home advantage is huge. I'd make us warm favs. [/QUOTE]
