[QUOTE="Feicarsinn, post: 605849, member: 22777"] Well obviously the bench is a bit weaker than the last day out, but in exchange you get O'Connell, Healy and O'Brien in your starting line up, as well as Johnny 10. Cronin, McGrath, Murray and Madigan should all be able to come on and liven things up if so required, while it's nice to see another young outside back get a shot in Robbie Henshaw. McCarthy and McLaughlin will be useful should we need to see out a tight game, while Archer adds more in the loose than Fitzpatrick and his scrummaging ability will be less important against a weak Australian unit. It's interesting to see big Dev start alongside Paulie. One would imagine what we'd lose in the scrum we'll gain back comfortably in the line out. Makes sense I guess, seeing as we can expect the Australians to be stronger in that department. I like the look of that back line. Give me Simon Zebo over Ferg and you have my ideal line up. Molto bene. [/QUOTE]
