[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 376207, member: 13611"] I don't know if Leinster can exploit Evans since the Irish province are seriously underpowered in the centre. Brian O'Driscoll, Gordon D'arcy, Fergus McFadden, Luke Fitzgerald, Shaun Berne, Brendan Macken and Shane Horgan all would have featured in midfield ahead of Eamonn Sheridan but are unavailable for one reason or another. Speaking of Sheridan, I wasn't too impressed whenever I saw him play previously. He's a big lump who'll crash the ball up but offers little else. Most of the times I saw him in the past were before Joe Schmidt took over so hopefully the new coach worked his magic on Sheridan in the same way we've seen Niall Morris, Fergus McFadden and Dave Kearney improve out of sight. I'm a lot more impressed with Ian McKinley. He's not as flash a player as Ian Madigan but makes the right decision all the time. When he plays, those around him pick up their game. With Shaun Berne probably not getting his contract renewed and Jonny Sexton off to the World Cup, McKinley has a chance to stake his claim for an extended run with Leinster in the 10 shirt. [/QUOTE]
