[QUOTE="LukeFitzgerald, post: 779944, member: 73469"] I like your style. Picking a team that England can beat. A brand new centre partnership who never played under Schmidt, Payne playing at fullback for the first time under Schmidt where he's nowhere near as good as Kearney in the air which is where most of our attacks are launched and Stander at 8, displacing our vice captain and one of our most important players due to all of the donkey work/unseen work that he puts in which keeps the team functioning. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Payne played at 15 in the last 2 games he's played for Ulster. I'd say it was definitely Ulster's call in that regards considering they have better centre partnerships already established. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Payne @ 13 in attack and defense: http://www.the42.ie/analysis-jared-payne-ireland-rwc-2015-2359440-Sep2015/ Kearney is definitely not a "ropey tackler". He is an excellent defender: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZV2QPGjlzQ http://www.the42.ie/rob-kearney-tackles-canada-ireland-rwc-15-2346802-Sep2015/ I know the above are very few examples, but if you bothered to watch Kearney play, you would see how reliable he is in defense. The reason you don't rate Heaslip is because you probably don't watch enough of him or have any understanding to see what he offers his team. [/QUOTE]
