[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 779950, member: 39240"] Don't know what game you watched but how did Heaslip hand CJ his ass on plate? Every pundit agreed it was evenly matched ( including bias Leinster pundits). Stats also showed that they were very even. So that point is complete and utter crap. Heaslip constantly gets his plaudits for "unseen work" but it's nonsense to think Heaslip has been playing well lately and bossed CJ. Watch the game. Neither got the better. And I'd love to hear the stats that show Heaslip is above the rest because his metres made in tight aren't in top 5 of IRFU forwards, either is his Metres made or his carries. I watch him regularly and know rugby but don't think he's played well lately and isn't the same player as before. I'm not saying he should be dropped but if he lost his place to Stander it wouldn't be a shock either as both are on a level par. And anyone who knows and watched both players and knee their stats would know that. On bottom I congratulate you on being the first person to say Rob Kearney is a good defender. He's consistently been the worst 1 on 1 tackler in Europe over past few years. Again I'd love to know how you make it out he's a good defender when statistically he isn't. Dave K get a lot of grief I've slated him myself but he's actually proven to be a very solid defender but Rob isn't. [/QUOTE]
