[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 493972, member: 13611"] He had some nice touches but he didn't control the game. His goalkicking was erratic, his restarts were too long, his defensive kicking was non existent and he took too much on himself. He plays instinctively with a lot of flair but I view him more as a ball playing 12 than as a 10. In my opinion, he's not as good a prospect as Cathal Marsh. Marsh is also an instinctive attacking player but controls games far better. It's noticeable that Marsh was brought on at half time to play flyhalf with Reid shifted to inside centre. Only Marsh's injury minutes after coming on brought Reid back into the flyhalf role. Yep, Tony McGahan deserves a lot of praise in rebuilding Munster. They now appear to be well stocked with talent almost everywhere. Perhaps they're lacking in the centre but signing Casey Laulala and James Downey gives them a bit of time to get JJ Hanrahan and others up to scratch. Tighthead and flyhalf are the only areas of real concern. Should BJ Botha get injured, Munster can kiss goodbye to any hope of winning the Heineken Cup or Pro 12 in the next two years. None of Keatley, Deasy or Cusack look remotely close to being as effective as O'Gara either. [/QUOTE]
