[QUOTE="mulldog, post: 304684"] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (munstermuffin @ Feb 23 2010, 09:17 PM) [url='index.php?act=findpost&pid=438244']<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/url]</div> Agree with Shaggy point and I think he more of a threat than Trimble who tends to shy away. DOC was having great season for Munster up until injury and it hard to put finger on it like I think he is good enough to start but Cullen definitely didn't deserve the chop and I don't know did Kidney pick him for his experience, age or just because he feels Paulie performs better with DOC i don't know. Best as you say is the superior scrummager but his darts have effecte his game in the past and that is his only flaw. Still I can't disagree with team like i'll agree O'Leary is lucky to keep spot but I just think Reddan had to be outstanding last weekend for Leinster to even get a sniff of jersey as Kidney was never going to make large amount of changes. (I even surprised he made as many as he did although 2 were enforced) [/b][/quote] Points taken munstermuffin, in regards to DOC starting its hard to tell why as Kidney has went for him, I feel Cullen has added a bit more beef to the scrum and the line out has been arguably Irelands strongest department thus far in the championship.
